Hi Stephen,

 

You can do a New formula and simply enter the string value in between quotes. See the following example:

Worth mentioning - The column will show up as the first column in your dataset. You can then click the column drop down, select Move and then ...to end

 

hope this helps,

David

Well... that was insanely easy. Thank you!
