Replace part of file name in a formula based on sheet name

I'm really hoping someone could help me out with this one. Here is my situation: I have a workbook with several sheets, all set up exactly the same. Each cell on a sheet is referencing the same file, however each sheet is referencing a different file.

For example, this is one of the cells in a sheet:

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP("iso1r2",'E:\BAM4\Tests\AnalysisChkA1\[B3LE1.xls]Dat'!$A$2:$CO$24,COLUMN(F2),FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP("iso1r2",'E:\BAM4\Tests\AnalysisChkA1\[B3LE1.xls]Dat'!$A$2:$CO$24,COLUMN(F2),FALSE))

And I would like the B3 to automatically be replaced with the sheet name in all cells.

Is there a function I can add into this formula, or would it be easy to create a VBA code (I currently do know how to write code)?

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Thanks Jack! I've tried using the indirect function and can't seem to get it to work for this purpose. Any other ideas?
