Modeling: Add new column in table with same value for all rows

Hello,

 

New to PowerBI and doing a lot of training right now.

 

I hope an easy question:  how to add a new column in table with same value for all rows.

To add a column is known, but how to set a new single value for all rows with one command?

 

Thank you!

In the Query Editor, go to > Add Column > Custom Column >

In the custom column formula something like = "abc" will create a column of all "abc" values

I would like to know if this works with incremental refresh or not. 

lets assume that i am adding a custom column in my table and setting value = "abc" for example , all the cached rows will have a value 'abc' for a custom column but after every incremental refresh , will new rows have the same value ? 

 

would be great if you can help. 

 

Thank you

Hello,

 

I found it here:

Add a custom column, give it a name and enter the value as formula like "ABC"

 

That's all...
