    Thanks all for your help, but I think I've figured it out.  The append is actually working.  It's just that the preview isn't showing all records (the actual tables are much larger than what my example shows).  I'm new to PowerBI, and didn't realize that this was due to the preview.

I do have more information on this issue.  When I do the append, the extra column is null for all records.  When I click on the down arrow button for the column, and then click on "Load More", then I see all values show up.  But, once I click on OK, it referts back to the column being null for all records.

 

However, if, immediately after clicking on "Load More", I filter on any one value, that value will be visible.  But, as soon as I choose "Select All", they all go back to null again.
