Default Variable Worksheet Names

Hello,

I have been trying to get this to work.

=CELL("filename",Sheet1!$A$1)

I have an existing worksheet with multiple tabs. I want to create a named
range of worksheet names for a sequential portion of these tabs.

If I try it exacly as it says, I get a value not available error, probably
because I do not have a sheet named Sheet1.

If I try to replace Sheet1 with the name of my first worksheet for this
named range, Excel asks me where I want to save it.

=CELL("filename",Day One!$A$1)

If I add double single quotes, I get a formula error message.

=CELL("filename",''Day One''!$A$1)

What am I missing?

Also, once this is working, I would like it to pickup any newly added
worksheets within this range of worksheets and add the name to my named range
of worksheet names. Is this possible?

Thanks for your help.
