You can achieve it without VBA coding. Try the following in name manager and call that name to any cell. See the attached file.

So my approach would be to reserve a cell on each sheet for the sheet name. For example cell A1 could be:
=LET(path,CELL("filename",A1),RIGHT(path,LEN(path)-SEARCH("]",path)))
Then make sure you have all the sheets 'bound' by a known sheet name. For example lets say you always have JAN first and the last sheet is SUMMARY and you insert months inbetween as the year goes by then:
=DROP(HSTACK('JAN:SUMMARY'$A$1),,-1)
where that will 'stack' all the sheet names (each found in cell A1 of each sheet) and then drop that last one from this SUMMARY sheet.
