Use workbook name as value

[sebyjohn73]

Hi, I am using the name of the workbook as a serial number too. I woul
like to use a formula, so that the serial # column reflects the ne
workbook name, every time I open a new workbook using the "save as
function.

regards, seb

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.
