Hello,
Example of current situation:
I have 2 separate data sources that I am collating into the same table using UNION DAX command,
However, each table does not have any sort of unique identifier.
Therefore, I would like to add a new column to each table with a unique identifier such as 'TABLE1' and 'TABLE2'
So that when the new table is created using UNION, I will be able to see which row is coming from which table/source (Also allowing me to create my reports based on the unique identifiers).
So what I am simply after, is a way to add a new column to an existing table which I can specify a text string that will input into every row.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for very stupid question.. Just forgot I could specify text within "xyz"
Wondered why it kept showing as "Failed to resolve name 'testing'. It is not a valid table, variable, or function name."
