Default A formula to identify tab names in a worksheet

This might be a dumb question and I'm missing something, but...

Point at a cell in that sheet:
=MID(CELL("filename",'sheet3'!A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",'sheet3'!A1))+1,99)


If you're going to have to enter the sheet name that you want in the formula
why not just cut out the middleman and enter the sheet name directly in the
cell?

Excel will adjust the formula if you change the sheet name after you've
created
the formula.

Not sure if this can be done or not, but I will pose this question:

If I am in tab1 of a workbook and want identify the name of tab3 in the
same
workbook, is there a formula that does that?

here is what I am after:
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,99) gives me the
name of the tab when I am actively in that tab, but is there way that
would
give me the name of tab3 when I am still in tab1?

Let me know if this makes sense?

Thanks
