I am trying to display the Filename in a cell on my worksheet. However, when I enter the =Cell("filename"), it provides the full path (C:/Documents......Cost Summary.xls) How can I display only the filename without the path?

Is there a way to take filename and place value in a cell
View 9 Replies View RelatedCELL("filename") gives you the name of the current workbook but if you switch to another workbook and then come back, the name has switched to the other workbook. You have to refresh to make the name switch back to that of the workbook you used the formula in.
What alternatives exist, short of writing some VBA, which is an option, to fetching the name of the workbook via a formula and having it remain the name of that workbook when you go away and come back again?

Is it possible to insert the filename of another excel file based on the information in a cell within your current file?
I have a file named 12-07.xlsx, which has a sheet Data 12-07, and that sheet has information all through it. I want to populate a cell in a new file with inform from the 12-07.xlsx cell B3.
I know the Formula is ='[12-07.xlsx]Data 12-07'!$B$3
Is there a way that I can use a cell within the current file, say cell B1 (which has a value of 12-07 - which is the same as the file I want) to populate the filename? Something like
='["=B1".xlxs]Data 12-07'!$B$3 (whereas "=B1" would be 12-07)
I know that will not work as is, but is this concept doable?
How can I have the filename stored in a certain cell of the worksheet?

View 5 Replies View RelatedOne folder on the drive contains excel files, which are created daily from a template. I use these files, the 20 most recent days' worth, to create an analysis file. This new file is organized in rows, starting with the date. The files I am using are all saved in the form "Stats yyyy mm-dd.xls" The first line of each row of the analysis spreadsheet starts with the date, in the format "yyyy mm-dd". Is it possible to create a macro, or in another way, for the analysis spreadsheet to automate the reading-in of data from these different files?

I put = cell("filename") in cell A1 on every sheet to display the full pathname of that sheet.
it seems that the path does not always display the correct sheet name- rather it seems
that when changing from one sheet to another the path is not always updated.
Is there a switch that needs to be activated to ensure that the path is updated correctly when changing sheets on the same worksheet?
I have a formula that looks like this : ='G:STOCKS[1001 Stock.xls]Matl%'!$I$32
There are hundreds of similar formulas, all referencing different cells in the same file. The “1001” bit refers to the date, and next month it will need to say “1002” to pick up the new month's file. I would like to hold the “1002” bit in a cell (say A1), so that at month end, I just change that one cell, and all the formulas will point to the new file, but I’m not sure how to work that into the formula.

I am trying to use a cell reference to have excel automatically Save a worksheet using a cell reference as the workbook name.

I have a file name typed into cell C3. I want the formula in cell C4 (C5,C6,C7......) to include the name of the file typed into cell C3. The formula in cell C5 shows what the content should look like.
I want the users to be able to type the file name in Row 3 (C3,D3,E3.......) and have the formulas below them insert the file name and access the information from the files (yes the files can/will be open when we do this).
I need to to have at least twenty different formulas (rows) referencing specific cells in these files.
The formulas would look like this ='["File name from C3"]Audit Information'!$D$35.
I am hoping it may only be a syntax thing and someone here can "show me the way" I have tried &$C$3& with and without quotations with no luck.
