Default How do I display the filename and path in a cell?

It doesn't work...

If I paste the suggestion into my cell - then that is just what is diplayed.

Same for the suggestion by NBVC.

So I am propably doing something wrong: I mark the cell and paste e.g.
=CELL("filename",$A$1)
in that cell. I can see that CELL is a function - but somehow it is not
recognized by my sheet? What do I have to set to activate this function?

Try the below in a saved workbook.

(all in one line)
=LEFT(CELL("filename"),FIND("[",CELL("filename"))-1)&MID(CELL("filename"),FIND("[",CELL("filename"))+1,FIND("]",CELL("filename"))-FIND("[",CELL("filename"))-1)

If this post helps click Yes

document.
