get Metadata for Azure blob storage file and store into Lakehouse table

Hi,

I have a fabric pipeline where i want to get a content of the file and name of the file in alakehouse table. But I am not able to get the file name in a seperate column of the table . (My file has only one column)

I used getMetadata and Copydata activity but still it is not working . When i do the mapping with dynamic content it  looks as below

Hi @PBILover,

Please use the script function 
@{concat('INSERT INTO MetaData VALUES (GETDATE(), ''', variables('Path'), ''')')}

Thanks for the reply @v-saisrao-msft : I tried to get the filename in a variable, which worked fine but the mapping part is not working , when i used a mapping->add mapping and assign any dynamic content it is turning as shown in above screenshot. I dont see 2 columns .

Hi @PBILover,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community.

 

Please use the set variable activity, store the metadata ( which is file name ) to a variabl and use this variable in copy data activity to insert data into a table.

 

Thank you.
