reference current worksheet name (tab name) in a formula
How may I reference the current worksheet name (the name on the tab) in a
formula on that worksheet. In other words, I want to compare the string in a cell to the name of the current worksheet. If it matches then I want to raise an error. Thanks in advance! Janet |

courtesy of: www.ozgrid.com http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/return-sheet-name.htm Return an Excel Worksheet Name to a Cell In Excel it is possible to use the CELL function/formula and the MID and FIND to return the name of an Excel Worksheet in a Workbook. The formula below shows us how; =MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,256) Where A1 is any non error cell on the Worksheet. If you want the full path of the Excel Workbook, simply use; =CELL("filename",A1) It is important to note that the above formulas will only work in a Workbook that has been saved.

reference current worksheet name (tab name) in a formula
Very cool, Trevor!
Since all the worksheet names are a 6 digit number, I modified your suggestion to the following: =RIGHT(CELL("FILENAME",A1),6) and it works GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll just have to remember to save the workbook to get the new tabnames. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
