Can the =CELL formula be used to determine the worksheet tab name.
 

The tab is named '522' and I want '522' to show up in a cell in the worksheet
such as A1. I know that =CELL can be used to get the filenam, but can it be
used to get the tab name? If not, is there another function that will?

You can also use a UDF for this. The CELL function has a known bug (not
sure if MS fixed it or not); generally it will work just fine though. An
example of a worskheet function (UDF) that will accomplish this canbe found

Did you ever get a specific answer to your question? I'm looking for the
same info.

I think you can use this:

=MID(CELL("filename",A1), FIND("]", CELL("filename", A1))+ 1, 255)
