I am reading data from an Excel file and I need to add a date to a column of data. The date I need to add is in specific cell on a separate sheet in the same Excel file. I thought using the Column Expressions node would be my best bet, but I can’t seem to see how I can get that piece of data in my new column. Any suggestions?
I think you’ll need to read that separate sheet in as its own KNIME table, then join it with your main table appropriately. I don’t think the Column Expressions node is useful here, but it would depend on what you want to do specifically.
Can you share some sample data and your desired result?
Knime File.xlsx (11.8 KB)
I have attached the source file. Essentially, I need “Date of Test:” added to column D of the Main tab for each record.
I tried the Constant Value Column node, but again couldn’t see how to make it dynamic. As you noted, I probably need to read the sheet with the Date value to make this work.
Thanks for your suggestions. Much appreciated.
read the sheet separately, convert the date to a flow variable (table row to variable node) and add this as a constant value column to your original table
