Filename Preview for Formulas

I would like to suggest a preview window for formulas in the filename. I have a botflow that saves an Excel file that has been updated with today's date. Since we can't use a slash "\" in the filename I use a period, i.e. 12.05.25. In order to accomplish this I use a formula similar to this: C:\Users\RPA\Documents\SCRAP\SCRAP wk of [?DatePart("m",[?DateAdd("D",-6,[*PREVIOUS_WEEKEND_DAY_DATE],False)])].[?DatePart("D",[?DateAdd("D",-6,[*PREVIOUS_WEEKEND_DAY_DATE],False)])].[?DatePart("yyyy",[?DateAdd("D",-6,[*PREVIOUS_WEEKEND_DAY_DATE],False)])].xlsx

It would be nice to get a preview of the new filename so I can make sure that the formula was created correctly.
