Any suggestions on how to write a formula that will return the filename of the source of a pivot table.

I have two files. File1 is data, file2 has a pivot table of the data from file1.

So, in file2 i want a formula that tells me the filename, path, etc, of file1 by looking at the pivot table in file2.

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
Maybe (via VBA) using the connection information? Extract the file name from it. Start with
Code:
? your_sheet_reference.pivottables(1).pivotcache.connection
