Combine and Insert query

R

Ranjith Kurian

I have linked three csv files to MS Access Table, the table names are as
follows MON.csv, Tue.csv and Wed.csv
I have combined all the three tables using UnionAll function in query (qry
Combine).
I would like to have a query/macro funtion which can insert a column to my
'qry combine' identifing the table names example: when the 'qry combine'
combines the first table Mon.csv along with the data the query must insert a
new column and enter a value as "weekMon" to all the data of Monfile.

In the union query you would need to add a calculated field

SELECT "Monday" as TheDay, *
FROM [MONDAY TABLE}
UNION ALL
SELECT "Tuesday" as TheDay, *
FROM [Tuesday TABLE}
UNION ALL
SELECT "Wednesday" as TheDay, *
FROM [Wednesday TABLE}

In your append query add a field like this --
"weekMon" AS File_Date
then for Tuesday --
"weekTue" AS File_Date
... etc.
