Excel Filenames issue
Good afternoon, we have a user and when he has two excel spreadsheets open at a time and goes to print, the file name will be the same on both documents. I know a good fix to this solution is to shut down one of the excel files, but this is difficult when the user is trying to compare documents. His explanation of the issue is below:
When using =cell("filename") in a cell, while printing, the name and path printed is not correct if more than one excel document is open.
Any help would be great!

You could use other means other than the CELL() function. Besides the obvious custom header, you could also use VBA. Why would you be using the CELL() function anyway?

FYI: we have noticed that this is happeneing in 2010 and 2003 Excel. If two excel file names are open and whichever one was opened first the second changes file names to the first.

also, ragnarok89, I set the footer and this did not work. The Cell still changes.

That way, you're not relying on a formula.
