Tab Name or Sheet Name in a Cell

I want to return the Worksheet name to a cell in each
worksheet of the workbook.

Last week I was recommended to use:

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

which works fine when used in one worksheet only, but
when used in many worksheets, they all change to the same
name.

Does anyone know of a way to return the name to a cell
using something like the properties of the workbook?

Thanks in advance,
John T. Riordan

John,

It's simply a question of adding a cell reference so that the formula refers
to that worksheet, not the active one, i.e.

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