I have a workbook with 26 worksheets in it, and on one page I wish for cells
to reference the names on the worksheet tabs.

Here's a macro to create a Table of Contents...

'/==============================================/
Public Sub WorkBookTableOfContents()
'Create a separate worksheet with the name of each sheet
' in the workbook as a hyperlink to that sheet -
' i.e. a Table Of Contents

Dim iRow As Integer, iColumn As Integer, y As Integer
Dim i As Integer, x As Integer, iSheets As Integer
Dim objOutputArea As Object
Dim strTableName As String, strSheetName As String
Dim strOrigCalcStatus As String

strTableName = "Table_of_Contents"

'check for an active workbook
If ActiveWorkbook Is Nothing Then 'no workbooks open, so create one
Workbooks.Add
End If

'Count number of sheets in workbook
iSheets = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Count

'Check for duplicate Sheet name
i = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Count
For x = 1 To i
If Windows.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
If UCase(Sheets(x).name) = UCase(strTableName) Then
Sheets(x).Activate
If Err.Number = 9 Then
Exit For
End If
'turn warning messages off
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Next

'Add new sheet at end of workbook
' where results will be located

'Count number of sheets in workbook

'Initialize row and column counts for putting
' info into StrTableName sheet
iRow = 1
iColumn = 0

Set objOutputArea = _
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(strTableName).Range("A1")

'Check Sheet names
For x = 1 To iSheets
strSheetName = Sheets(x).name
'put information into StrTableName worksheet
With objOutputArea
If strSheetName < strTableName Then
.Offset(iRow, iColumn) = " " & strSheetName

How have the worksheets been named?

Unique names or just Sheet1, Sheet2 etc?

If Sheet1 etc. a formula

=INDIRECT("Sheet" & (ROW()-1) & "!E3")

Gives Sheet1!E3. When copied down, A2 will be Sheet2!E3, etc.

If unique, you will have to get the names into a list on one sheet and reference
them from that list.

To list the sheets into a sheet in Column A

Best to insert a new worksheet then run the macro.

Private Sub ListSheets()
'list of sheet names starting at A1
Dim Rng As Range
Dim i As Integer
Set Rng = Range("A1")
For Each Sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
Rng.Offset(i, 0).Value = Sheet.Name
i = i + 1
Next Sheet
End Sub
