[excel] How to get the excel file name / path in VBA

Say, I'm writing a VBA inside my excel file sample.xls. Now I want to get the full path of sample.xls in my VBA. How do I do it?

this is a simple alternative that gives all responses, Fullname, Path, filename.

Dim FilePath, FileOnly, PathOnly As String

FilePath = ThisWorkbook.FullName
FileOnly = ThisWorkbook.Name
PathOnly = Left(FilePath, Len(FilePath) - Len(FileOnly))

There is a universal way to get this:

Function FileName() As String
    FileName = Mid(Application.Caption, 1, InStrRev(Application.Caption, "-") - 2)
End Function

ActiveWorkbook.FullName would be better I think, in case you have the VBA Macro stored in another Excel Workbook, but you want to get the details of the Excel you are editing, not where the Macro resides.

If they reside in the same file, then it does not matter, but if they are in different files, and you want the file where the Data is rather than where the Macro is, then ActiveWorkbook is the one to go for, because it deals with both scenarios.

   strScriptFullname = WScript.ScriptFullName 
   strScriptPath = Left(strScriptFullname, InStrRev(strScriptFullname,"\")) 

If you need path only this is the most straightforward way:

PathOnly = ThisWorkbook.Path
