I have a workbook that will be used for employee evaluations. Each sheet is
for a different employee, and the sheet is named for the employee. I would
like the employee name, from the sheet tab, to appear in cell B1 of the
appropriate spreadsheet. For example, if the sheet tab says "Joe Smith" I
would like cell B1 to grab the name of the tab and also say "Joe Smith."

I used the formula =CELL("Filename",A1) but it gives me the entire path name
and I only want the sheet tab name. What formula will perform this function?

Thank you!

RIGHT(CELL("filename";A1);LEN(CELL("filename";A1))-FIND("]";CELL("filename";A1);1))

Hi

I have a workbook consisits of plenty of worksheets. In a mastersheet I have a list of worksheet names in one column and corresponding dropdown list in the next column. Can I get any excel formula or VBA code that will automatically populate/update the worksheet names whenever the user creates/copy new worksheet within the workbook? Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Ganesh A
