Hi, I read xlsx files and want to write the name of the file in to an attribute. The writer I use is a feature writer to use the result in ARCGIS online. 

Thank you!

    You’ll need to expose the fme_basename and/or the fme_dataset attributes. Then you can use an AttributeCreator or -Manager to get that value in any attribute you wish.
