MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements.

Sample Function 1

   Function Sheetname()
       Application.Volatile
       Sheetname = Application.Caller.Parent.Name
   End Function

Sample Function 2

   Function SName()
       Application.Volatile
       SName = ActiveSheet.Name
   End Function

Note that SName() returns the name of the active sheet, not the name of the sheet that the function is on. This may not produce the results you expect if you use this function with linked sheets.
