relative file reference

‎05-12-2016 01:15 PM

Hi - I am trying to pull data from a dropbox file in Power Query. However, every user has a different path to that dropbox file. Any ideas on how to use dynamic file references in the advanced query editor?

 

A couple more questions...

 

(1) Is there a function I can use to return the name of the current directory?

(2) Is there a funnction I can use to go up or down one level in the directory structure?

 

Thank you!!!

 

Steven

Hm, strange.

Please try another split on _invdtl 

 

Otherwise please try if the other option works (just to check if there isn't anything else to it here, or a bug)
