Outputting a Content Created Date from a Directory of files?

[jason79121]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to pull in the "Content Created" date into Alteryx as I have a directory of over 30+ files and created a batch macro to avoid schema issues. One thing I need to do is perform trend analysis, in which I need the original day the file was created. At first, I tried using the "Date Created", but noticed that this is showing as the day that I downloaded the files from the internet which is not what I need.

Does anyone know if there is a way to get the original Content Created date for files in a directory?

I had a post before in which someone mentioned using a Run Command tool (below) - I think this is a good first step, but after performing the run I noticed that the output was still the date created which is not the date that I need - I need the content created date.
