Pulling in the path to a filename
Is there anyway to pull either the complete path or alternatively, the parent
folder of the xls file. For example, example.xls is located in the c:\november directory, I'd like to pull in either C:\november or just november. Thanks Pradhan |

Use =CELL("filename") and parse out the part of the string that you need.

Pulling in the path to a filename
It's probably better in this case to include a cell from that worksheet:
=cell("filename",a1) (any old cell will do) If you open two workbooks and put: =cell("Filename") in A1 of a worksheet in each workbook then use window|arrange|tiled to see both worksheets, you'll see the difference.

Pulling in the path to a filename
Thank you, although I must confess, I see no difference between the 2
functions with and without the included reference but I suspect that is due to my requesting "filename" information.

Pulling in the path to a filename
Did you try that test?
If you did, then you should have seen that both cells showed the workbook name that was active when the recalculation occurred. If you didn't see it, you may want to do it again.
