Function to return the current Worksheet name?
 

Is there a function that returns the current Worksheet name? I am creating
multiple Worksheets by Copying and Pasting the same "template" sheet and
would like as much of the worksheet specific text as possible to be
generated automatically.

Thanks, Steve

I've seen some VB code that does this, but can't seem to find it right now.
Try doing a Google search for it.

Hi Anne, thanks for the fast response. Your solution took me 30 seconds to
implement & 30 minutes to understand! :)

Thanks Barb, I had tried doing from within a VB macro but couldn't figure
out how to call the macro by invoking a function. I know I can invoke the
macro from a form but I don't want to start putting buttons or other form
elements on the worksheet.

Maybe something like this

Function ThisSheet() As String
ThisSheet = Application.Caller.Parent.Name
End Function

called from a worksheet with =ThisSheet()

Thanks Bob, amazing how much easier things become when exact syntax is
available.
