How do I insert the sheet name into a cell

[Guest]

I cannot find a function that allows me automatically to insert the sheet
name into a cell within the sheet.
Grateful for any help.

Jelly,

Not exactly what you want, but it might get you closer.

=CELL("filename")

will return the path, file, and sheet names in one. You can then use a
string function to extract the sheet name from there.

HTH,

That's really useful. I would like to add the sh.name function you describe
but cannot find book.xlt or any similar Excel template (I'm running Office
XP). Can please let me know how/where I can do this?
Many thanks

Jelly,

There is a problem with your formula. Take a look at the link I posted to
see what and why.

Jelly,

Book.xlt does not necessarily exist and if it does, might be in different
locations on different machines.

If you don't have one, new a standard Excel workbook, make the changes you
want, and save it as an Excel template named Book.xlt.

Save it to the Office\XLStart directory, and check that that works.

Sorry, meant Ryan
