Default Naming a cell

I believe there is a way to name a cell in a worksheet to equal the worksheet
name but I cannot recall

Is there?

Thanks

Hi,
for the worksheet name use Jacob suggestion if you want the workbook name use

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