Are you talking about directly adding a column to an Excel file?

Also - your attachment does not appear to be an xls file and so generates a warning error.

Hi NathanFurby,

I mean like I need to clean the source that come from excel file and save its to qvd file. In my qvd file should has a new column.

And this is my problem, I try to make a new field into qvd file. But still don't know how?

And I already attached a new file, hope you can see its.

Thank you for your respond.

OK - I see the problem. I'm sure there is a way to work it out. But I see this as a data issue. Is there no better way to relate the data at the source? such as this:

level mat
1 1
2 1a
3 1b
4 1c
5 1d
6 1e
1 2
4 2a
5 2b
6 2c
7 2e
1 3
2 3a
3 3c
