Help Keeping Metadata

‎02-23-2022 09:52 AM

I'm extracting and combining CSV files from a SP list - I've pretty much got it down, but don't know how to keep my meta dates after combining. Please help!

 

 

 

BinaryToCSV = Table.AddColumn(Path, "CSV", each Csv.Document([Content])),
    KeepCtdModDate = Table.SelectColumns(BinaryToCSV,{"CSV", "Date created", "Date modified"}),
    ExpandAll = Table.Combine(KeepCtdModDate[CSV]),
    #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(ExpandAll, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),

You can just expand your column of tables, or see this video on how to keep your metadata with the Table.Combine approach you've started with.
