Add a Column to Excel source data

[Syndicate_Admin]

Hello, 

I have a folder with many files (100's).

I am consolidating these files with PQ (the data in each file is a table format)

Same #columns and column field names in all the files. 

I now need to add a field (column) to my source data in excel.

I added this field (column) to only 1 of the source data files (the most recent one)

After I refresh PQ, I do not see this field in the PQ data set. 

Do I need to add this field (column) to all the source data files instead of only 1 of files?  (I have hundreds of files and want to avoid having to add to all the files)

here is a few lines of the advanced editor (I have many and assume only the first few lines might show where my issue is)

I am a novice user of PQ. 

thank you for the help.

Source = Folder.Files("C:\Users\Me\Box\Financing\Project Finance\DRAWS\ConsolidatePQ"),
#"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(Source,{"Content", "Name"}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Removed Other Columns", "Custom", each Excel.Workbook([Content])),

use my code replace all your code

[Syndicate_Admin]

Hi daniel,

sorry but I am not following.  In the entire code above, i did replace my code with your code (bolded).  Could you provide a little more detail?  Thank you very much.

try to use my code to create a new query

[Syndicate_Admin]

thank you.  I was able to modify the current code.  It is tricky to do this.   I had to modify the 4th line of code but then had to change names for the following lines of code since they referenced names that no longer existed.  Not straight forward but I managed to do it.  thank you for the help.
