Excel Formulas Copyrights

Hi Experts,   What do you feel about the formula you wrote, and perhaps you struggled while writing it to make it work, what do you feel when you see someone copying and pasting it somewhere else...

Hi, Haytham Amairah.

 

I understand your point, and I also agree with the points from Damien_Rosario and SergeiBaklan.  

 

Honestly, I tried myself to find a formula to get the worksheet name.  Few years later, occasionaly, I browsed the same one from https://exceljet.net/formula/get-sheet-name-only.  After that, whenever people ask for a formula to get the worksheet name, I answered with providing the above link to save time on explaination.  So, I won't claim the copyright because these are the common/only ways to accomplish goals in Excel without macros.

 

However, if we really get the solution from someone else, it's a good practice to give a reference.

 

 

Edition:

note:  the case of mine is to point out that, in excel, we use function combinations to archieve our goals, and the same approach may be used by others too.
