Is there a procedure to input a Filename into a cell. I want to see the filename in some cell, not in the footer/header.

Is there some function that I'm not aware of?

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Put the following in the cell where you want to show the filename.

=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1),1)+1,FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1),1)-FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1),1)-1)

Notes:
1. The file must be saved with a name.
2. The reference to a cell A1 is required.
