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?

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
