    Try

    =SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(CELL("filename"),FIND("]",CELL("filename"))-1),"[","")
    Hope that helps.

    Thanks but maybe I need to be a bit more explicit. It is the path/location name (C:\david\documents\...etc) I am after which I want Excel to "discover" and then display into a given cell

    Hopefully that means something to somebody?

    Best regards,

    David
