Is it possible to get a cell to give the value of the name of th
sheet?

I am doing timesheets and my files have sheets named with particula
dates. On each sheet is a cell with that date on it also. It would b
good if this could be generated by the data entered on the sheet name.

Thanks in advance,

Richar
 
Hi
try one of the following formulas (note: the workbook has
to be save
before). Just use the formulas as they are shown (don't
replace
'filename' with anything else)

File path and file name:
=CELL("filename",A1)

File path only
=LEFT(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1),1)-
1)

File name only
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1),1)
+1,FIND("]",CEL
L("filename",A1),1)-FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1),1)-1)

The sheet name
=RIGHT(CELL("filename",A1),LEN(CELL("filename",A1))-FIND
("]",CELL("file
name",A1),1))

Is it possible to take the sheet name formulae detailed below from various
sheets onto one sheet. This is what I was trying to achieve with my index
query earlier.

I am doing timesheets and my files have sheets named with particular
dates. On each sheet is a cell with that date on it also. It would be
good if this could be generated by the data entered on the sheet name.

I've figured it out (I basically just need to cut and paste the formulae to
my index).

Thanks for the help.
