    Hi @PratikBhat,
    please try this formula format,
    code:
    AddColumns(
        ForAll(Sequence(10,1,1),{ID: Value}), // replace with your actual datasource
        'New ID',
        "Sim-" & ID
    )

    Hi @PratikBhat,

    This error indicates an error in the naming of the column. The AddColumns function expects the following parameters:
    • Source: The table or source where the column should be added to.
    • Column: The unique column name
    • Expression: This provides the values in the column
    Make sure the column parameter is not inside double quotes but just as a identifier. This will solve the identifier error.
     
    Good luck!
