How do I show the source files a table was uploaded from?

"Recent Sources" in the ribbon at the top doesn't precisely tell you this for a particular table. It just lists all the source files you've ever uploaded for all tables. For a given table, I need to know exactly which source file(s) it comes from, and the directory pathway to those source files. How do I look this up?

Hi @pmcinnis,

Go to the query editor select the table you need and then go to the first step "Source" that will give you the information you need.

To add to @MFelix , there is a nifty Query Dependies function on the View menu of the Query Editor.

Thx for the solution. That is nifty!

By 'the first step' do you mean the first column 'Source.Name'? (thx, that is helpful)  If yes, is there a way to show the directory pathway to that file?
