Hey @anjanarnair

 

When you use the directory Tool and select the Folder you want to get the files from, you get the Column "Size" which shows the data size of the elements there. You also get all the file paths. 

 

Example (path is in there too):

Hi @FrederikE  ,

 

Thanks for the quick reply!

 

Its showing each individual size..I need to get the total size.

 

 EX:-It is showing the individual size(refer below snip)...i need to get the total size in a source path (In other words total 4 GB in one directory..(C:\User\OneDrive -\Desktop\Power bi).

 

Please give me a solution for this...

 

Thanks,

Anjana

Hey @anjanarnair,

 

In the Summarize Tool, you can group by the Directory and then sum up the Sizes.

Edit: This sums up by folders - Subfolders are seperated. Here the question is on what level you want to show them .
