I would enter the source filename into a named cell (e.g. SOURCENAME) in the source file and then simply reference that directly ='Demo 1.xlsx'!SOURCENAME in the current workbook. There are some other ways but that's by far the simplest.

Do you have a version of Excel with the =FORMULATEXT function available?

Hi Wyn,
Thanks for your message and apologies for the late reply. Yes, I have FORMULATEXT. I have 2013 Home and Business.
