Load File Attribute: Last Modified By

I am preparing a dashboard that is intended to show all the Excel files in a shared folder. A key attribute neccessary for the dashboard is the username of the individual who last saved the file within the folder. When I connect to the folder via Power Query I only have the following attributes available to pull into a table: 

 

Attributes.Archive
Attributes.ChangeTime
Attributes.Compressed
Attributes.Content Type
Attributes.Device
Attributes.Directory
Attributes.Encrypted
Attributes.Hidden
Attributes.Kind
Attributes.MountPoint
Attributes.Normal
Attributes.NotContentIndexed
Attributes.Offline
Attributes.ReadOnly
Attributes.ReparsePoint
Attributes.Size
Attributes.SparseFile
Attributes.SymbolicLink
Attributes.System
Attributes.Temporary

Hi @Anonymous ,

When Attribute is expanded, there are only these records, and it does not contain information about the username of the person who last edited the file.

If the file in the folder is excel, you can refer to the thread below.
