Hi @Anonymous

 

will new column with constant value help?

 

Context menu "new column" ->

Column = 27

Fine, @Anonymous,

 

try this:

Column2 = "https://www.google.com"

double quotes is important for text value

Thanks It is working. I am trying to create one more column with default value 'https://www.google.com' to all records but getting error. 

 

The syntax for ':' is incorrect. (DAX(https://www.google.com)).

Fine, @Anonymous,

 

try this:

Column2 = "https://www.google.com"
