Does anyone know how to get the filename in cell without using the CELL function (so that it can work if the file is opened in Sharepoint)?

It turns out (see here) we can get the sheet name in a cell using something like below as as a named reference, e.g. 'GetSheetName' and then =GetSheetName(Sheet1!A1) in a cell:
Excel Formula:
=LAMBDA(refCell, LET(frmTxt, FORMULATEXT( INDIRECT( ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()) ) ), SUBSTITUTE(TEXTAFTER( TEXTBEFORE(frmTxt,"!",[B]-1[/B]), "(", -1), "'", "") ))('Sheet1 Copy'!A1)

I was wondering if anyone knows how to do something similar for the file name?
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Maybe it is just me, but that formula doesn't seem to be working.

Also the LAMBDA variable "refCell" is never used.

Actually it should be:
Excel Formula:
=LAMBDA(refCell, LET(frmTxt, FORMULATEXT( INDIRECT( ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()) ) ), SUBSTITUTE(TEXTAFTER( TEXTBEFORE(frmTxt,"!",[B]-1[/B]), "(", -1), "'", "") ))

The formula is
Excel Formula:
=LAMBDA(refCell, LET(frmTxt, FORMULATEXT( INDIRECT( ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()) ) ), SUBSTITUTE(TEXTAFTER( TEXTBEFORE(frmTxt,"!",-1), "(", -1), "'", "") ))
@kcmuppet if you want to format a formula please use the "rich" code tags & not the "xls" tags.
