Only load files if flow change date is newer than file date

Hi 

I have a flow that converts xlsx filen to alteryx databases, and then loads the alteryx db if its change later than the xlsx file.

if I in addition to that want to only load the alteryx db or excel file if its changed after the flow was changeg (to always have data run through the newest version of the flow)

but discard it if the file is not changed and the flow is not changed.

how would you do that?

@Hamder83  Use the Directory tool for the folder. You will get columns CreationTime, LastAccessTime and LastWriteTime. Using these columns, you can determine which files to be loaded or updated.
