Worksheet Name

B

Bill

Is there some function that will allow you to pick up the
name (on the tab) of a worksheet and populate a cell with
the name? So that if you change the name of the
worksheet, the cell value will change to match?

Hi Bill
try the following - a little more than asked for
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))

with worksheet name as a footer? Is it possible?

Thanks

Hi

When you want to return the name of some other sheet (not the one the
formula is placed on), then

=MID(CELL("filename",Sheetname!A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",Sheetname!A1))+1
,255)

For Excel 2000 you must use a macro to get path and name in footer.

Sub PathInFooter()
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightFooter = ActiveWorkbook.FullName & " " & _
ActiveSheet.Name & " " & Application.UserName & " " & Date
End Sub

OR to use what is in A1 if you have used Frank's formula(s)

Sub CellInFooter()
With ActiveSheet
.PageSetup.CenterFooter = .Range("A1").text
End With
End Sub

Either of these can be placed in the Before_Print code if desired.

Hi
you may put the following code in your workbook module (will add the
name to all of your footers)

Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim wbk_name
Dim wkSht As Worksheet
For Each wkSht In Me.Worksheets
wbk_name = ActiveWorkbook.FullName & " " & _
wkSht.Name
With wkSht.PageSetup
.CenterFooter = wbk_name
End With
Next wkSht
End Sub

Thanks Arvi;
Added it my library,, did note that if the calling sheetname has spaces in
the name,
it returns an #Name!, or the like.. probably some added syntax to work
around.. aye?
