THIS IS FOR ONLY FILE NO HEADERS

= (Path as text) =>
let
FileName = "PATH","\XXXX_",".txt", {0, RelativePosition.FromEnd}, 0),
Txt = Csv.Document(File.Contents("PATH"),[Delimiter=" ", Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]),
Table.FromList=Table.AddColumn (Txt),
FileNameColumn=Table.AddColumn(Txt,"FileName",each FileName)
in
FileNameColumn
