cell entry equal worksheet title
 

Is it possible to make a cell entry automatically equate to the name of a
worksheet (as displayed in the tab at the bottom of the screen)?

The workbook has to be saved for this to work.

=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,256)

=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,256)

You must include a cell reference.

=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,256)

See Bob Phillips' site for explanation.

Um, actually, no, I don't. My formula works absolutely fine. Perhaps you
should test something before declaring it is incorrect?

I see what you are saying now, but that being said, my function still works. :)

Enter your formula on Sheet1.........returns Sheet1

Enter your formula on Sheet2............returns Sheet2

Switch back to Sheet1.

See anything amiss?

I would not say "it works"
