Hi All,

Does anyone know of a way to replicate this UDF using excels (2003) standard functions?

Code:
Function GetSheetName(shInd As Integer)
     GetSheetName = Sheets(shInd).Name
End Function

Where shInd is the index number of the sheet.

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Hi Try,

=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,256)

Thanks - but i'm looking for the result to be based on the sheets index number, rather than a cell within the sheet.

For example in a standard 3 sheet spreadsheet:-

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 160pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=214 x:str><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 48pt" width=64><COL style="WIDTH: 53pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 2596" width=71><COL style="WIDTH: 59pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 2889" width=79><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid;
