Use a sheet name in a formula
 

Hi I would like a formula in a cell where I can show the sheet name.

For example

="2008 "&"Sheetname"

Anybody who knows?

Use a sheet name in a formula
 

Try this...

="2008 " &
RIGHT(CELL("Filename"),LEN(CELL("Filename"))-FIND("]",CELL("Filename")))

The workbook must have been saved at least once for this to work.

Hope this helps,

Hutch

Use a sheet name in a formula
 

="2008 "&MID(CELL("filename"),FIND("]",CELL("filename"),1)+1,256)

Use a sheet name in a formula
 

="2008 "&MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,32)

A1 can be replaced by any cell reference even the cell that holds the
formula

That is not correct, you need to include a cell reference or else it will
switch sheet names
to the active sheet once the workbook is saved again.

I dont get it to work. And also I think that this will return the name of the
file. I want it to return the name of a specific sheet within the file.

Peo, could you perhaps write the formula in Swedish which I guess you are
when I see your name :)

I am Swedish but I don't have a Swedish Excel installed on the computer I am
at the moment,
The formula would be


="2008 "&EXTEXT(CELL("filename";A1);HITTA("]";CELL("filename";A1))+1;32)

in Swedish except that I don't remember if "filename" is changed to a
Swedish equivalent?


If you go to help and lookup the CELL function, what options are there, if
there is no "filename" replace it with
whatever the help example is using

Freddie.

It works as Peo has written it.

I get 2008 Sheet1 when I enter the formula in any cell in Sheet1
