One step paste of XLS file name in one of its own cells
I'd include a reference to a cell in that worksheet:
=CELL("filename",a1)
(I use the address of the cell that contains the formula)
Otherwise, when excel recalculates, you'll see the names of the activesheet and
the activeworkbook.

I should have added if you want the full path and filename use

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Hi,
Put this formula in a cell. It only works if the workbook has been saved
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),1+FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1)),FIND(".",CELL("filename",A1 ))-FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1))-1)

Is there a way to automatically paste the file name of an open excel file
into one of its own cells. I can paste the file name of a Word Document with
a couple of easy steps into a Word document but cannot find a way to do so in
Excel.
Thanks
