Using Field Calculator to put file name into field

Question

I am using ArcGIS ModelBuilder.

I want to use Field Calculator to put the file name into a field. I created a field using add field. But I don't know the function to call the file name. What I've tried is "!name!", "!file.name!".

• PolyGeo: Are you using the ModelBuilder of ArcGIS Pro or the one from ArcMap?
• bixb0012: There is no means within a Cursor object or Field Calculator tool to determine the data set/source name that is being processed, that information needs to be determined outside a Cursor object or Field Calculator and passed to it.

Answer 1

Try the Parse Path model builder tool.

You can also use arcpy.describe. The Describe Object Properties returns the path which you can field calculate into your attribute table.
