On my spreadsheet, cell A1 has the following formula: =cell("filename). The result is:

\Admin2-ladontemp[Copy of 0904-CAPITAL AVIATION.xls]Summary Sheet

How would I get the phrase "Summary Sheet", to appear in Cell A1? Also, is there a formula that can just print the name of a particular worksheet in a workbook?

Thanks for all of your help

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Here's a couple ways.

1 variation of the find "]" approach:
=RIGHT(CELL("filename"),LEN(CELL("filename"))-FIND("]",CELL("filename")))


A UDF using the formula: =SheetName(A1)

Function SheetName(Cell As Range)
sheetname = Cell.Parent.Name
End Function
