thanks but I think my question wasn't clear enough.

I need to enter a formula that returns the name of the worksheet e.g. if the
worksheet was named June I need the formula to return the result June - hope
this makes for sense.

Try this -

=RIGHT(CELL("filename"),LEN(CELL("filename"))-FIND("]",CELL("filename"),1))

(cell("filename") returns full information including path to the
current worksheet). The worksheet name is the last piece of information
in the string and just before the worksheet name appears a closed
square bracket (]). Once you find that in the string, you just need all
remaining characters in the string after the ]

Hi Nicola

The workbook needs to have been saved before this can work.

I was looking for this answer also (great minds think alike), but how would
you adjust this to get the tab name of ANOTHER tab in ANOTHER file..?

Thanks,
