Thanks Greg_Deckler., sorry if i am not clear

I am trying to read data from a folder as Data source. Assume folder contains 10 files If i read the latest modified file (Top 1 row) this works perfect.

My question was if i need to show the user a list of file names in this folder (10 names), so they can choose which file they want to analyse?

 

I hope this will be clear? Is there any clean way to do the user input on folder?

 

Cheers
