how to reference the current sheet name in an function?
I am aware that you can reference other sheets in a function, but how do you reference the current sheet in one? IF(Current_sheet_name="user template", value_if_true, value_if_false) Thanks!
(the workbook must be saved)
If you run Excel 365:
=IF(TEXTAFTER(CELL("filename",A1),"]") = "user template", value_if_true, value_if_false)with other versions:
=IF(RIGHT(CELL("filename",A1),LEN(CELL("filename",A1))-SEARCH("]",CELL("filename",A1))) = "user template", value_if_true, value_if_false)
RichHoltonHowever the new functions in Excel solve a lot, there is still a certain weakness in this formula, if you have multiple worksheets of which you'd want to use the name, excel states the name of the last active worksheet is used all over the workbook. Better would be when Microsoft would add "worksheetname" in the possible list of "infotypes" and makes is worksheet dependent.
