Cell() Function to Pick the File Name & File Path By MS-Excel Formula

There may be times when you need to insert the name of the current workbook or worksheet in to a cell.

This can be done by using the CELL() function, shown below.

 C:\Users\welcome\Downloads\[Test File - Excel Help.xls] Filename formula  
  =CELL("filename")  

The problem with this is that it gives the complete path including drive letter and folders.
To just pick out the workbook or worksheet name you need to use text functions.

To pick the Path

 C:\Users\welcome\Downloads\  
 =MID(CELL("filename"),1,FIND("[",CELL("filename"))-1)  

To pick the Workbook name

 Test File - Excel Help.xls  
 =MID(CELL("filename"),FIND("[",CELL("filename"))+1,FIND("]",CELL("filename"))-FIND("[",CELL("filename"))-1)  

To pick the Worksheet name.

 Filename formula  
 =MID(CELL("filename"),FIND("]",CELL("filename"))+1,255)
