Is there a way to set the spreadsheet up so that the value in cell A4
appears as the sheet tab name?

Only with VBA code.

Sub AAA()
ActiveSheet.Name = ActiveSheet.Range("A4").Text
End Sub

or you can use an event procedure to automate this. In the code
module for the worksheet in question, use

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$A$4" Then
Me.Name = Target.Text
End If
End Sub

Hi
you have to use VBA for this. e.g. put the following code in your workshete
module

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
if target.address="$A$4" then
on error resume next
application.enableevents=false
me.name=target.value
application.enableevents=true
end if
End Sub

Yes, with event code (if you mean "so that the sheet name becomes whatever's
in A4" & not the other way around).

Rightclick the sheet tab, click "View Code" ; then paste the following into
the worksheet module.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address < "$A$4" Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo 100:
ActiveSheet.Name = Target
Exit Sub
100:
MsgBox "Cannot rename sheet."
End Sub
