What function in a formula will pull the text used in a Tab name?
 

Let's say I have two worksheets. Each has a specific name, i.e. Person 1 &
Person 2.

In the first Worksheet, I want a heading. The heading should match the
tab's name, i.e. A1 would have a formula that would show "Person 1". So that
if the Tab name were to change, the formula would also reflect the change.

I know that there are codes for headers, i.e. &Tab. Is there a
function/formula out there that I can use?

Thank you JE McGimpsey!!! Worked perfectly! Why didn't Excel's Help have
that?!

Thanks again!

I tried to use the macro that would take the value in a cell and change the
tab name. It didn't work for me. I don't think I understood fully as to
where to put the code and how to activate it. The screen shots have the
Apple version, I'm using Windows XP, Office 2003.

I clicked on additional link on right, "where to put macros", but I didn't
find it clear enough to follow.

It really isn't that different, but you can see a WinXL description he

If you don't see the Project Browser when you open the VBE, choose
View/Project Browser.

Constructive criticism is welcome, if you can let me know what needs to
be improved.
