If you would like to see the full path name of your workbook in the menu bar, this is a nifty trick you can put right to use. Simply follow these steps:
Normally, the Address drop-down list is used if you are working with the Internet-aware side of Excel. However, when you are working with plain old workbooks, the control shows the current path and name of the workbook that is currently active.

For Excel 365 Web, how to Display Path Names in the Menu Bar or somewhere in the QAT or Ribbon ? This is due to my experience of Excel 365 Workbook relocated from designated folder to Document Folder ; this creates situation of two workbooks of same name: one is designated folder and another in Document Folder which my subsequent editing ends up to until Power Automate Flow Fails because my latest edit is not in the designated folder.
I prefer to have the full path name visible rather than manually checking it periodically.
Got a version of Excel that uses the menu interface (Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002, or Excel 2003)? This site is for you! If you use a later version of Excel, visit our ExcelTips site focusing on the ribbon interface.
