The following sample functions allow you to display the name of a worksheet in a cell.

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 in which the function appears. Therefore, this function may not produce the results that you expect if you use it with linked sheets.
