| | There may be times when you need to insert the name of the current workbook | | | | ||||||
| | or worksheet in to a cell. | | | | | | | | ||
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | This can be done by using the CELL() function, shown below. | | | | | | ||||
| | C:\Documents and Settings\Sajid\My Documents\Dropbox\excel files\[Excel function TUTOR1.XLS] Filename formula | | | | | | | |||
| | =CELL("filename") | | | | | | | | ||
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | The problem with this is that it gives the complete path including drive letter and folders. | | | | ||||||
| | To just pick out the workbook or worksheet name you need to use text functions. | | | | ||||||
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | To pick the Path. | | | | | | | | ||
| | C:\Documents and Settings\Sajid\My Documents\Dropbox\excel files\ | | | | | | | |||
| | =MID(CELL("filename"),1,FIND("[",CELL("filename"))-1) | | | | | | ||||
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | To pick the Workbook name. | | | | | | | | ||
| | Excel function TUTOR1.XLS | | | | | | | | ||
| | =MID(CELL("filename"),FIND("[",CELL("filename"))+1,FIND("]",CELL("filename"))-FIND("[",CELL("filename"))-1) | | | |||||||
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | To pick the Worksheet name. | | | | | | | | ||
| | Filename formula | | | | | | | | | |
| | =MID(CELL("filename"),FIND("]",CELL("filename"))+1,255) | | | | | | ||||
