File metadata/how to hook into get data

Hello,

 

I am building a set of tools that should allow users to import their own data. 

Is it possible to get meta data about a source file used for data imports?

For instance, a user loads "User/Documents/Report March.xlsx". 

Does anyone know of a way to the get the path, size, type, name and put them in a card in the dashboard?

 

Thanks, Ruben

      Thank you Mariusz,

       

      I'm afraid the example I gave was misleading as I mentioned a month, sorry. The data won't necessarily come from the same folder each time, or even be the next month. 

      Can I get Information about any source file in general into a visualization?

       

      Kindest regards,

      Ruben
