Hi all,

I am wondering how is the best way to create a new column in fme with say last modified date and then extract the last time excel file was saved into the column for each record?

Thanks

You can use Directory and File Pathnames reader, just remember to turn on the option to retrieve file properties.

Each feature will then have an attribute path_modified_date which probably contains what you're looking for.
