Import folder of CVS files but manually add data for each file

Hi All

 

I have a situation where I have a folder of CSV files I want to combine, and then I need to manually add a number of fields and data for each CSV file and effectively have that manual data linked to the data relavent to that file's data.

 

I have the Import and Merge donw, and have then created a second query just with the filename field with duplicated removed, but need to the have a way of manually adding data. Preferably also having Drop down or some field validation against a list for each field.

 

Is there a way of doing this OOB or would I need some custom dev?

 

thanks an advance

Hi @wayne_taylor 

Power BI is a visual tool. Not editing.

You'll have to provide the users a different interface to update the files.

Cheers!
