# FHIR FHIRPath Function: %factory.CodeableConcept

This page is part of **FHIR FHIRPath** (FHIR-specific extensions). Base spec lives at [FHIRPath](/fhirpath).

`%factory.CodeableConcept(coding, text) : CodeableConcept`

Creates a CodeableConcept: `%factory.CodeableConcept(%factory.Coding(...), "Example Test")`

Parameters:

-   **coding**: a collection of Coding that goes in CodeableConcept.coding
-   **text**: a string value that goes in CodeableConcept.text

**Return Value:** a CodeableConcept.

For the general type constructors, all the parameters are mandatory. Note that since all variables / outputs in FHIRPath are collections, all the parameters are inherently collections, but when the underlying property referred to is a singleton element, the collection cannot contain more than one item. Use the value `{}` if there is no value to provide.
