Default Sheet names code

You should add a cell reference (it doesn't matter what cell) to the CELL
functions. E.g.,

CELL("filename",A1)

Without the reference, the value returned by CELL is the workbook/worksheet
that is active when the cell containing the formula is calculated. If a
sheet other than the sheet containing the formula is active, you'll get the
wrong result.

=RIGHT(CELL("filename"),LEN(CELL("filename"))-FIND("]",CELL("filename")))

Returns an empty string until workbook is saved.
