    Show location of copied cell.

    Hi In column A I have linked data from another sheet with the formulae like this:

    ='C:\2017-18\[John Smith.xlsx]Sheet1'!C10

    is there anyway in column B it could just display "John Smith" just so I know where it got the data from.

    Cheers

    Hi,

    You are looking to extract a string from within another string of data.

    This site shows how to do something like that.
