I have a macro that prompts the user to open an excel file. The chosen file gets copied into the current workbook.
My question is:Is it possible to write a code that copies the file name that was chosen and paste it in a cell of the workbook that is already opened?

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
sure,

i assume you are browsing for the file to open,

Code:
fName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls")
Range("A1") = fName
Workbooks.Open fName


hth,
