Hi experts,
I have 2 files - File1 & File2
While importing files in power bi, I need File1 should be selected when [Date created] is before 17-09-2022 03:45:59 else File2 should be selected.
Thank you in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
You're nearly there. Just put the file names as a second condition in a boolean filter:
= Table.SelectRows(
Source,
each ( [Date created] < #date(2022, 09, 17) and Text.StartsWith([Name], "File1_") )
or ( [Date created] >= #date(2022, 09, 17) and Text.StartsWith([Name], "File2_") )
)

Hi @liberty20 ,
Use a folder connector to connect to the folder(s) the files are in.
You should get a view something like this where you can filter using file metadata before expanding the [Content] column to append all filtered files:

Thank you for a quick response!
I am using sharepoint folder as a source and both the files are present in same folder.
I need both the files in my data but one file is having historic data(before 17-09-2022) +current data(after 17-09-2022) and second file is having current data only (after 17-09-2022).
Expected result should be :
= Table.SelectRows(Source, If [Date created] is before 17-09-2022 then each Text.StartsWith([Name], "File1_") else Text.StartsWith([Name],"File2_))
As per your suggestion, if I will apply filter on files then I will get both the files and data after the date 17-09-2022 will get duplicated as both the files are having data for that dates.
