referencing the name of a worksheet
 

How can I refer to the 'name' of a worksheet in a cell.
So that if I change the name of the worksheet, the new name will be
reflected in that cell.

(like worksheet1.name, reference the 'name attribute' of a worksheet).

Thanks in advance,
Simon

try

=MID(CELL("filename",Sheet2!A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",Sheet2!A1))+1,255)

which returns "Sheet2"

I am trying to do the same thing. So say in cell A1 of worksheet "Fibre" I
want cell A1 to return the tab or worksheet name "Fibre" If I change the tab
name I want cell A1 to change to whatever I call the tab. I am not
understanding your formula. Would you be able to explain it to me
differently.
Thanks

Guys,
I'm using excel 2003 SP3.

When I use the above formula on multiple worksheets I get a wierd bug.

On sheet 1 it will report "Sheet1" and on Sheet 2 it will give "sheet2"

So if I edit the formula or paste the formula on sheet 2 it will return
"sheet 2" but when I go back to sheet 1 it will be saying "sheet2"!

Help!

Are you sure you used that exact formula?

I'm guessing that you changed it--maybe dropped the A1 references. Add them
back and try it.

If that doesn't help, post your exact formula.
