   @r-richmond Thank you for opening a request!

   Would it be possible to include a dummy-tds or twb that already has a query band in it?
   It would also be great to include a sample query band update you might make.
   It's very helpful for us when building test cases and understand the requirements.

   (I'm marking this as an enhancement)

   Sure,

   I've attached a dummy workbook that contains both sample query bands & sample initial sql.

   As far as an example use case. I would like to be able to write something like

   for workbook in folder:
     for datasource in workbook:
       if datasource.query_band is none:
         datasource.query_band = 'TableauReport=<workbookname>';
      elif datasource.query_band does not contain 'TableauReport=<workbookname>':
         datasource.query_band += '\n TableauReport=<workbookname>';
   

   note: in this case I'd like to be the special value that you can use in query bands now and not a hardcoded string of the current workbook name.
