Is there a way I can grab the filename out of a cell that has a formula linking to it? In my VBA code, I want to open another workbook and count the number of rows in a tab but I won't know the name of the other workbook. I will have to pull the filename out of a cell formula in my current workbook. Is that possible?

Grab Filename from linked cell formula

You can use Formula property to get the formula and extract path and file name.
If the link is open its path disappears, to get the path you can either get the path from the source workbook or search an array returned by LinkSources method applied to workbook with link.
