Default Function to Return File Name of Active Workbook

Jim, thanks for your reply. I am trying to create a function, insteat of a
macro, so that I would be able to use it inside a worksheet (as I need to use
the name of the file inside other functions). Is there a way to do that?

Thanks,
Magnivy

Hello,

I'm trying to create a custom function that would return the file name of
the active workbook (as I dont know a worksheet function that would do so
directly), and am not having much luck. I tried

Function filename()
filename = ActiveWorkbook.Name
End Function

but this returns an error. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You!
