I am using a formula:
“Sheet "& MID(CELL("filename",B11),FIND("]",CELL("filename",B11))+2
LEN(CELL("filename",B11))-FIND("]",CELL("filename",B11))) “

to place part of the worksheet name in a cell. However because o
formatting requirements I cannot use a formula. Can I do this usin
VBA? Then I could have the macro run each time the workbook is close
to keep the cell up to date.

Thanks
Rober

You could use the BeforeSave event

See Chip Pearson's page on events
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/events.htm

worksheets(1).Range("B2').Value = "Sheet " & worksheets(1).Name

I spoke too soon :(

Starting with Tom's sugestion, I came up with the following which work
fine as long as I am on the first worksheet:

Sub SheetNumberUpdate()

'Updates sheet number cell to match sheet (tab) name

ActiveSheet.Range("E54").Font.Bold = False
'clears cell formating

ActiveSheet.Range("E54").Value = "Sheet " & ActiveSheet.Name
'copies worksheetname to cell "Sheet #####"

ActiveSheet.Range("E54").Characters(1, 5).Font.Bold = True
'sets the word "Sheet" to bold font

End Sub

However, when I use it on one of the other worksheets, say sheet 5 o
6, the cell is updated with the sheet name from the first worksheet.
thought by using Activesheet. Range and Activesheet.name and making sur
the desired sheet is active this would work. what am I missing

the code worked fine for me when used on any sheet that was active.

Produced the correct name.
