One step paste of XLS file name in one of its own cells

Hi,

Put this formula in a cell. It only works if the workbook has been saved

=MID(CELL("filename",A1),1+FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1)),FIND(".",CELL("filename",A1 ))-FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1))-1)

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Is there a way to automatically paste the file name of an open excel file
into one of its own cells. I can paste the file name of a Word Document with
a couple of easy steps into a Word document but cannot find a way to do so in
Excel.
Thanks
