Adding formula to custom column ...

[adambc]

I have two source files which are updated daily ...

I have created Connections to them, then used Combine Queries/Append to create a combined table with a Custom Column ...

I want to populate the Custom Column with a value depending on which file the record came from ie "Source1" if record comes from the first file, "Source2" if the record comes from the second file ...

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks ...

Add a column source or file name of whatever to each of the queries and hardcode the value.

UPDATE ...

Pseudo Excel statement ...

=IF({SourceFilename} = "Source1.xlsx", "Source1", IF({SourceFilename} = "Source2.xlsx", "Source2", ""))

Two questions ...

1. how do I write this in PQ

2. what do I use instead of {SourceFilename}

Thanks ...

Thank you for your reply, but I don’t know how?

Can you give me some guidance please?

Thanks …

You say you have 2 queries. Inside each you click Add Custom Column. That opens a formula screen. Simply type "SourceName". This is the name you want tot to give. And remember to name the column in the same screen.
