Hi Folks,

For example today (02/10/2018)I have a file to import is

report_20180209.csv

next date(02/11/2018) i want the imported file to be

report_20180210.csv

I am trying to find out the proper way create parameter based on date

Thanks for your help

One option might be to create a query based on data imported from folder: Get Data -> Folder. Then you make sure that you have in this folder the most recent file you need to import. Then it is not important what is the name of the file. Power Bi will import just the file you have in this folder.
