How can I add a new date column to an existing data set?

I bring a sales data set weekly, and started this about 6 weeks ago. This week my file had a new date column, but the new date column is not visible when I want to add to a card on my dashboard. I am assuming it is due to the past files not having this column.

Anything I can do besides re-adding all the past files with the new date column?

    can you calculate the date yourself based on other data in each row? If so you can use an ETL and a formula tile to calculate it. If not you'll need to reimport your data

    How are you bringing this in (what type of connector/data source)? Are you doing an append or a replace?

    Thank you for the quick replies. I am downloading the files and appending each week. I eventually want to use an email connector. A lot of the date fields will be blank, so I really can't calculate the the fields.

    If I need to reimport, it is not the end of the world.
