Add more import settings to Import files from a folder

ReportesMBH

Hi! I made a workflow that helps me to merge files in a folder. This files arrive every day to that folder, so every day I got 5 new files. The problem is that at the 7nd day I have 35 files to transfer, at the 21st day I have 105 files to transfer and so on.

I think it would be great to have an option in the import setting that allow you to select files by date or maybe by the last X number of files. Since for the moment we can only import every file in the folder or the last file in the folder.

ReportesMBH thanks for your idea!

Just to be clear, in your example you would want a feature to always select the 5 latest files, right?

Support from Sheetgo Hey Bobby,

I had a chance to look at Reportes’s workflow closely, and importing the last five files would be great for them. But e another suggestion could be importing files by date, or even creating a filter to select files in a folder. What do you think? :)

I think a date range would be a great idea, nice one!

How would the filter work?

Support from Sheetgo Hi Bobby! :)
I was thinking about this “filter” and how could work day-by-day and I think is better to have some kind of dropdown menu to choose how many files we want to import. :)

I think there is something regarding this planned for the roadmap. Let’s see about getting it prioritized
