=CELL("filename") returns #VALUE!

[SupperDuck]

Dear Friends,

When I use =CELL("filename") in Turkish regional style, it gives #VALUE!
error but if I change the settings to USA, it works!

Why? And how I can solve this ?

PS: I use an english office 2007 and I use the formulas in English, no
problem with any of them. But I got error with this.

Thanks & Regards,

Presumably you need to use the Turkish equivalent of "filename" in that
formula. I have no idea what that might be, but if you have Turkish help,
try looking up 'CELL function' in help, the info_type is listed there,
hopefully it will give you your equivalent.

 

[Gord Dibben]

After you have found the Turkish equivalent to "filename" change your
formula slightly.

=CELL("filename",A1)

Elsewise you can get wierd results when you switch sheets back and forth.

To the best of my knowledge, "filename" returns the WB name and as such it
will not cause any problem without using the A1.
However,
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,31) returns the
ONLY SHEETS NAME and therefor needs the A1.
please, correct me if I'm wrong.

You are wrong.

If you have two workbooks open and that formula in WB1, if a full recalc
happens whilst WB2 is open, the formula will update and point at the wrong
workbook.

Just to add to Bob's response...

Try opening two files (so that they've been saved). Then make a new window and
make sure that each window shows a sheet from a different workbook.

Then try each of the formulas (with the cell reference and without the cell
reference) and recalculate.

You'll see the problem (or feature if that's actually want you want <vbg>).

In addition..............

=CELL("filename")

Returns not just workbook name but full path including sheetname.

So the incorrect results will occur even in a single workbook.

I just typed: =CELL("filename") in sheet1 of a previous saved WB.
I copied it to sheet2 and upon switching between those 2 sheets I dont get
any error and/or a different result.
What am I doing wrong here ?

Make sure you recalc.

And it's easier to see if you have two windows open, too.

[akca19.84]

Thanks Cem Ä°spir.
It was big problem.
=CELL("FILENAME") perfectcly worked.

 

[baho81]

Thanks Cem. I am also using English Excel but rest of the software and regional settings are Turkish. =CELL("FILENAME") works fine.

Cheers!
Bahadir.

This I think is unique to Excel with Turkish related environments, just try filename keywork in uppercase like:

=CELL("FILENAME")
