Get current folder from Excel not working formula-CodePudding

I'm trying to obtain the current forlder from the document with this formula in Excel:

=LEFT(CELL("Book1.xlsx"),SEARCH("\[",CELL("Book1.xlsx")))

But I'm getting an error #VALUE! I'm not sure why, some help with this

CodePudding user response：

To get the full path with filename and sheet name you have to use like this:

=CELL("filename")

Output: C:\Users\user\Desktop\sample\[example.xls]A Test Sheet

To get the full path from the current file (previously saved)

=LEFT(CELL("filename"),FIND("[",CELL("filename"))-1)

Output: C:\Users\user\Desktop\sample\
