Powerful Features
Sometimes, we may need to inserting current Excel file (workbook) name, the file saving path and worksheet name in a cell, header or footer in Excel. Normally, we have to use formulas to insert workbook name, worksheet name or the file saving path into a cell, and if we need to insert that information into the header or footer, we should use Header & Footer function. That's too complicated! But with Kutools for Excel's Insert Workbook Information utility, we can insert current file information (such as current worksheet name, file name, file saving path, user name, current date and time and so on) into a cell, header or footer in Excel quickly.
