how can I make a cell content equal the tab name 'sheet1' ?
Hi,
Try the formula
=CELL("filename",A1)
and you see the full path
The +1 is part of the Find function and it gives the start number where it
finds the ] character in that string and for the sheet name you start 1
character after that or +1
The 256 is how many characters to display for the Sheet name. reduce this to
2 and you get the first 2 characters . 256 is overkill but it does ensure you
get the full sheet name.

Hello Mike H. Sorry to intrude. I like to learn from these questions.
I too tried it and it works. But what is the significance
of " +1,256" ?
TIA

Is there a way to make a cell content in a spreadsheet equal to the tab name
of that spread sheet w/o having to type the tab name into the cell?
Like b1="tab name" where tab name would be copied into cell b1
