Ability to use filename of loaded data in HTML component

We have some automated file loads which include a timestamp in the filename. The timestamp is relevant for teams during critical month-end periods to understand what numbers they are looking at in Apptio reporting. We would like to be able to add a HTML component in our reports which shows the time but are unable to do so. 

Note that the timestamp in the filename is different to the time the DL connector was run or when a check-in was made or Prod was updated.

    In the table where the file is uploaded into, add a field with the following formula:
    =Right(Split(TableInfo("Source"),1,"."),4)

    This formula will split the file name from the file extension and retain the last 4 characters of the file name.

    For demonstration purposes, I'm going to call the field [Stamp] and use the [All Business Services] table (backing the [Business Services] object).

    If the table is not backing a modeled object, you'll want to map/append the [Stamp] field into a table backing a modeled object.

    For me, I appended the [Stamp] field into [All Business Services].

    In the report, I created an HTML component and added the [Stamp] field into the component's Rows. This makes the field available to called via the following HTML code that should be added to the HTML component's content:
    <%={All Business Services.Stamp}%>

    The result will show a 4-character string matching the last 4 characters of your file name.

    Please confirm if you are still encountering any challenges or if this resolves your submission.
