=MID(CELL("filename",B1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",B1))+1,255)
The below explains how the above excel formula works:
The CELL function will get the full information of the current worksheet contain the full file name and its path.
=CELL(“filename”,B1)
The FIND function will locate the position of the right bracket symbol in the result returned by CELL function.

The MID function will extract the worksheet name from a text string returned by CELL function at the position that returned by the FIND function.
