Add today date each time data refresh

Hello,

I would like to add a column containing the current date each time I update my data on power BI, however I do not want my old data to change date.

Exemple:

IDDateImport
7748421/03/2023
3343

21/03/2023

 

Then, when I add data to my source and update on power BI:

IDDateI
7748421/03/2023
334321/03/2023
998025/03/2023

@N7Legend , Create a new table in power query using enter data only one value

ID

9980

 

 

And then add a new column in power query

DateI = DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow())

Then append two tables in the power query

Unfortunately, this solution update every date every time I refresh data.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong ?
