=CELL("filename")

If only it were really that simple. You'll get into problems with that
formula if the workbook containing that formula is not the active workbook
when Excel decides to do a full recalculation. Moreover, your formula
includes the square brackets around the file name and includes the sheet
name. Instead, use the following formula:

=SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(CELL("Filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("Filename",A1),1)-1),"[","")

Is there a formula I can use that will place the file name in a cell?
