I have the =cell("filename",a1) formula, but what if you only what just the
file name and not the whole path??? This is driving me crazy, that I can't
figure it out.

Thank you

File path, file and worksheet name:
=CELL("filename",A1)

File path only:
=LEFT(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1),1)-1)

File name only:
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1),1)+1,FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1),1)-FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1),1)-1)

The sheet name:
=MID(CELL("Filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("Filename",A1))+1,255)

More on this can found at Bob Phillips' site.
