Hello everyone, How to add a custom column with the name of the source file? I have the date in the name of the source and I want to keep it because it's my only time stamp.
Thank !!
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Experteam - You could do the following:
1. Create a parameter - This will be a date
2. Use the parameter as part of the name of the file to load.
3. Add the custom column, and set the value to the parameer.
4. Create a function out of your query
5. Create a list of file dates
6. With the list, invoke your function, then expand the list. You will then have all of your files loaded, each with the specified date in a column.
