Default Cell("filename") doesn't update to new filename when do save as.

Is there any way to set Excel to automatically do that?

If you done a SaveAs, the formula will update as soon as any calculation
occurs on the worksheet. Otherwise, touch F9.

And you'll want to add a range reference to that formula:

=cell("Filename",a1)

Unless you want to show the name of the workbook/worksheet that was active when
excel recalculated.
