You should add a reference to each =cell("filename").

=MID(CELL("filename",a1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",a1))+1,255)

You may find that you get the wrong name if you don't include that.

after looking it up for hours, i found the answer myself in less then 5
minutes after posting this. for the records, here it is:

The Cell function returns information about the formatting, location,
or contents of the upper-left cell in a reference.

To get the sheet name:
=MID(CELL("filename"),FIND("]",CELL("filename"))+1,255)

To get the workbook name:
=MID(CELL("filename"),FIND("[",CELL("filename"))+1,(FIND("]",CELL("filename"))+1)-FIND("[",CELL("filename"))-2)

To get the path address & workbook name:
=CELL("filename")

To get the path address:
=MID(CELL("filename"),1,FIND("[",CELL("filename"))-1)

oh, got it from exceltip.com
