Extract 'File Properties' from all files in folder

CDunhill

Hi

I thought the Directory tool would handle this, but it doesn't seem to quite hit the mark. I've got a large set of folders and files from an old website. I need to see when all the files were originally created and who the creator was.

I find the Directory tool is reading the date when I saved the file on my PC - not the original date.

Any idea how to extract file metadata as seen in Windows? See example below: I need the 2012 date etc not 2021!!

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Hi @CDunhill 

My initial reaction to this is that Alteryx cannot read this data. You should be able to use a vba macro to extract this. Alteryx could trigger the macro via a vb script using the run command tool/events panel though.
