Power Query, trying to use a CELL("filepath") function to create dynamic source reference for other tables so I can send this file to other people

I've been trying for days to figure this out. I made a worksheet with one table named "File Path" and one entry with the formula =LEFT(CELL("filename"),FIND("]",CELL("filename"))) to give the current path to the workbook.

I have read that I can somehow add this as a parameter in Power Query, then reference this parameter in the source code for other tables in the workbook. I've tried to follow the various instructions I found, but so far no luck in getting the value from the cell into the parameter.

Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.
