Hello,
I am using Integration services to upload a bunch of files. In my 'Data Flow Task' I have a 'For loop' which picks up every single file in the folder.

Does anybody know if it is possible to insert the Filename as a column so that i can differentiate the rows in my destination table??

Or would it be possible to insert a flag as a column which wold also change when the file changes...this would also help me differentiate the rows in my destination table...

Thanks

you can insert a derived column transformation task
between the source and destination to do this.
Name the column appropriately and uses the variable holding your file name as the expression.
