Hi and thanks in advance!

if I put this formula in my activhesheet

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

I will get my activesheet name

If I create a name named "MyName" when my Activesheet is "France" like:

MyName =MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))

Excel converts MyName
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))​
to
=MID(CELL("filename",France!A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",France!A1))​


So in every Tab I get the shame answer when I put =MyName

France​


So is there any solution to avoid this?
If I am in a Sheet Named UKI and I put =MyName get UKI​
If I am in a Sheet Named Ireland and I put =MyName get Ireland​
If I am in a Sheet Named NESA and I put =MyName get NESA​
If I am in a Sheet Named Portugal and I put =MyName get Portugal​

Why I do not like to put in A1 = MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1)) instead of =MyName

Because I am trying to know if is possible to create a dinamic formula to get a sheets Name using the same named formula
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
MyName: =MID(CELL("filename",!$A$1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",!$A$1))+1,255)
