Adding column with a fixed value

Hi,

 

I have 2 tables:

 

US table:

ProductRevenue
11000
22000
31000

 

Canada Table:

 

ProductRevenueCountry
11000Canada
22000Canada
31000Canada

 

I have to merge these 2 tables and I want to add Country column in US table. I tried using add column, but couldn't work. How can I add another column and its values in the US table?

 

Expected outcome:

 

ProductRevenueCountry
11000Canada
22000Canada
31000Canada
11000USA
22000USA
31000USA

 

Thanks for the help!

Just to illustrate how to do this in Power Query:

1) go to Power Query ("Transform Data" in the ribbon

2) select your US Table and choose "Add Custom" from the Add column in the ribbon:

3) Name the new Column "Country" and add the code as shown:

Add US.JPG

 

4) Select "Append Queries" from the ribon and choose "Append as new":

select append.jpg

 5) in the dialogue, select the "Canada" table to append to the US table:

6) and your done - "Close and apply":

Thanks, everyone for your input. I tried adding a custom column but I was just using single quotes, I should have used double-quotes.

You should be able to add a custom column in the Query Editor with the code:

 

= "USA"

Go to Data View. Add new column

Country = "USA"

 

In Canada

Country = "Canada"
