  Is it possible to turn a file path in an excel print title into a clickable hyperlink? I would like to publish the excel file as a pdf with a clickable hyperlink in the footer.

  Hi
  I have about 90 workbooks, and in each workbook i have 5 sheets, i want to put in a new column in every sheet across these workbooks to input the year.

  Hi, correct formula for filename without path is:
  =MID((CELL('filename'));((SEARCH('[';(CELL('filename'))))+1);((SEARCH(']';(CELL('filename'))))-((SEARCH('[';(CELL('filename'))))+1)))
  (semicolon in MID and SEARCH funtions, and -1 --> +1 at the end)
  bye

    For filename without extension:
    =MID(CELL('filename'),SEARCH('[',CELL('filename'))+1,SEARCH(']',CELL('filename'))-SEARCH('[',CELL('filename'))-5)

    This gives an error.

      shouldn't be 6?

      • To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
        -6 was the correct for me on MS Office 2016 :)
      • To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
        On mine it works well. However, it finishes with a '.' at the end. If you put 6 instead it will return without the '.'. It basically works counting the characters which '+1' in the formula is the first character and the '-5' is the amount of characters that are not showing counting from the front. So, if you want to catch only the middle characters eg. (XXXXX from a document named ZZ-YY-WW-XXXXX from a extension .xlsm) you can input as per below:
        =MID(CELL('filename'),SEARCH('[',CELL('filename'))+10,SEARCH(']',CELL('filename'))-SEARCH('[',CELL('filename'))-15)

  when i am using this function in excel 1 (this is the filename) , and then i open excel 2, the cell in excel 1 changes from 'excel 1' to 'excel 2'.
  Please advise, how to prevent this.

    Yes, I am having the same problem, this formula seems to point to a variable that is not tied to the actual spreadsheet of the cell the formula exists in but instead to the currently selected spreadsheet or similar.

      I have the same problem when opening a different excel document. Is there a way to leave the file name with the current file?

      • To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
        You prolly already found this solution. But I figured I'd add it for any future searchers. :-)
        Simply add the third option, the 'A1' reference, to each of the CELL functions as follows:
        =CELL('filename',A1)
        =SUBSTITUTE( LEFT(CELL('filename',A1),FIND(']',CELL('filename',A1))-1),'[',')
        =MID(CELL('filename',A1),SEARCH('[',CELL('filename',A1))+1, SEARCH(']',CELL('filename',A1))-SEARCH('[',CELL('filename',A1))-1)
