SUMMARY
To display the name of a worksheet in a cell, you can create a user-defined function similar to the examples in the "More Information" section of this article.

Sample Function 1
Function Sheetname Application.Volatile Sheetname = Application.Caller.Parent.Name End Function

Sample Function 2
Function SName Application.Volatile SName = ActiveSheet.Name End Function Note that SName returns the name of the active sheet, not the name of the sheet that the function is on. This may not produce the results you expect if you use this function with linked sheets.
