Working with the file name
It's a known limitation of SharePoint. We cannot use file name in calculated column formula.
There is a SharePoint UserVoice for this. You can vote here: Use filename in calculated field
Workaround:
Create a new text field & populate its value using workflow on item creation/update. Hide this field from property forms.
Use workflow to updated the Title field based on the filename. Then use Title field in the calculated column formula.

ganeshsanap the UserVoice page no longer exists... is there a replacement for it? For me, it seems crazy that you cannot use Name in a calculated column, and instead have to resort to using a flow to track the name with a custom column!
