Default Displaying file name in a workbook

Is there any way that the filename of a workbook can be displayed in a cell.

A bit like the "TODAY" function displays the current date, is there a
function to display the current file name of the workbook

That was the Mac version; http://support.microsoft.com/kb/214084/EN-US/ is
for Windows.

I think:

=cell("filename",a1)
will be better.

If a range reference isn't included, then the formula will evaluate to whatever
workbook is active at the time of the last calculation.

Dave,

Thanks. That one's not in the help for the CELL() function, so I think this
is officially another Excel gotcha!
