Use workbook name as value
Hi, I am using the name of the workbook as a serial number too. I would like to use a formula, so that the serial # column reflects the new workbook name, every time I open a new workbook using the "save as" function.
regards, seby |

Use workbook name as value
Enter this into a cell to return the filename.
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1),1)+1,FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1),1)-FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1),1)-1) Note: file must have been saved a to least once.
