Any suggestions on how to write a formula that will return the filename of the source of a pivot table.

I have two files. File1 is data, file2 has a pivot table of the data from file1.

So, in file2 i want a formula that tells me the filename, path, etc, of file1 by looking at the pivot table in file2.

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
Maybe (via VBA) using the connection information? Extract the file name from it. Start with
Code:
? your_sheet_reference.pivottables(1).pivotcache.connection
