showing file names in Excelworkbooks

Copper Contributor

It used to be possible to insert a formula into an Excel workbook which would show the file name and path.   Can anyone remember what the formula was is it still valid as I can't find it in the formulas  tab?

=CELL("filename") returns path+filename+sheetname

To remove the sheet name:

=SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(CELL("filename"),FIND("]",CELL("filename"))-1),"[","")

Warning: this won't work if the path/filename contains [ or ].
