Need to keep the Source file details when expanding an email attachment

I have a query that pulls data from a CSV attached to an email

 

It all works well until I expand the attachment(s) when I lose the file name and modified date.

I start from here:

From here I click the double arrows on AttachmentContent, it creates a helper query and produces the data from the CSV, but I lose the details of the source file. I need to keep this so I can see where the data came from and when it wa slast modified, is there a way to acheive this?

 

Thanks

@IanDavies Look for a step like "Remove other columns" and delete that step.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

thanks but I dont think it is that, there is no obvious remove step and it only loads detail from the CSV and not from the previous step
