Hi all,
I have a report built from .csv files in Blob storage. All the .csv files are titled "model_output_[timestamp]).
What I'd like to do is pull that timestamp into the table as a field so I can concat it into a column of "Model_[timestamp]" and join it to an ever-growing master list of model results.
Another thing I've tried is referencing the table at the "import CSV" step to get a list of the files, then pulling the timestamp out of the tilename. At that point, though, there's nothing to tie it back to the correct table (example below).
You may use Text.BetweenDelimiters to add a custom column.
Text.BetweenDelimiters([Filename], "[", "]")
Hi @v-chuncz-msft,
I already have the timestamp column, but would need it to carry over to the table once it's expanded, however. That's what I'm looking for - a column in a table referencing its source file's name.
Maybe this will help. The "model iteration" column is what I'm trying to create. At the moment, I'm copy-pasting the correct timestamp. What I'd like to do is pull the timestamp from my previous picture into this table so I can create that column.
