Peo:
This seems to be a method to extract text from a string in a given cell. I don't think it will work with the TAB. (unless the Tab has an address similar to a cell's address.

I entered my file name: =MID(CELL(Test,A1),FIND("]",CELL(Test,A1))+1,32)
I entered my file name along with it's extension: =MID(CELL(Test.xls,A1),FIND("]",CELL(Test.xls,A1))+1,32) I entered my file name along with it's extension and it's path: =MID(CELL('C':\Documents and Settings\Darrell.Roak.PUMP_EXCH\My Documents\Test.xls,A1),FIND("]",CELL('C':\Documents and Settings\Darrell.Roak.PUMP_EXCH\My Documents\Test.xls,A1))+1,32) The result was the same: #NAME (formular result = volitile) My worksheet Tab name is "Test Tab" Am I supposed to substitute something for "]" ?

Don't make any changes with Peo's original formula. Just copy and paste
directly to the formula bar for that cell.

I copied and pasted the formular as typed by Peo and I got the same result:

Did you use Peo's original formula?
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,32) I bet you changed it slightly.

It wasn't greater experience--I just copied the formula into a new workbook and
saw the results <bg. David wrote: Dave Peterson wrote But I get a #value! error if the workbook wasn't saved. I'll have to bow to your considerably greater experience in these matters. I just didn't see any reference to saving the file in this thread. -- David -- Dave Peterson |
