Solved: MDB : read the FileName of an Access Database - Qlik Community

Anonymous · ‎2014-09-11

Hi community,

do you know if Qlik can read the FileName of Microsoft Access Database?

I need that information in order to choose the right database among many. The databases have names such as DB 2013, DB 2014, DB 2015 ... and I'd like to be sure I'm choosing the last DB created (the one with the highest value in name)!

Any ideas?

Thank you, guys

You could read folder and files with dirlist and filelist and you could with functions like filetime() or filebasename() read the names and properties - you will find an example within the help by "for each ...".

Yes, you're right!

I was just going on doing the same (stupid) mistake!

for each and then filename are quite enough and now I can realize they can be applied to many kinds of source.

Thanks
