how to keep the folder path

Hello!

 

To keep the folder path during the transformation, but when I click to expand the content the column disappears. Is there any way to keep it?

Thanks!

Hi @enavesca ,

Please refer the following link to get it:

Solved: Retain file name column when using Folder as a dat... - Microsoft Fabric Community

Actually, it's pretty easy with this line of code:

= Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Table.PromoteHeaders(Csv.Document([Content],[Delimiter=";", Encoding=1252])))

 

Replace your Step 2&3 with it.

It will retain all the metadata from the 1st step and add the content in an additional custom column.

If your csv's have all the same headers, you simply expand this column and the headers of the 1st file will be shown - and expand all other files on these cols as well.


Best Regards
