How to load from variable/dynamic datasources

Hello guys,

I would like to use variable datasources in a text object to switch from live to stage when reloading data.

The application uses relative paths to load data from two folders:

[...]\live\

[...]\stage\

The subfolders and files are the same in each of the above folders.

Could you please advice on how to do this? Many thanks for your support

Regards, Andrea

Create a variable vDataSourc = 'live' and then use like [....]\$(vDataSourc)\

You can use TableName() or FileBaseName() function for identify the file name from folders.

Anand, thank you. I am not familiar with TableName() or FileBaseName() but I will explore the option as I see value in your solution.

Thank you
