**How to Pull Tab Name to Find Cell Value?**<\/p>\n
When working with spreadsheets, it is often essential to extract data from different tabs or sheets. One common requirement is to retrieve the name of a specific tab and use it to find a corresponding cell value. By following a few simple steps, you can easily pull the tab name and locate the desired cell value within your Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel document.<\/p>\n
**Step 1: Determine the Cell Value**
\nTo begin, identify the specific cell from which you want to extract the tab name. This could be any cell within the sheet where you intend to display the tab name.<\/p>\n
**Step 2: Use the CELL function**
\nIn both Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel, the CELL function allows you to extract various properties of a cell. By applying this function, you can retrieve the sheet name for a given cell. The syntax of the CELL function is as follows:
\n“`
\n=CELL(info_type,[reference])
\n“`<\/p>\n
**Step 3: Specify the Reference**
\nWithin the CELL function, you need to specify the reference to the cell you want to retrieve information from. This reference can be either directly inputted into the function or as a cell reference. For example, if the cell you want to reference is A1, you can input it as `”A1″` or directly reference the cell like `A1`.<\/p>\n
**Step 4: Specify the Info Type**
\nThe CELL function requires you to specify the `info_type` argument to indicate the type of information you want to retrieve. In this case, we are interested in extracting the sheet name, so you should enter `”filename”` as the `info_type`.<\/p>\n
**Step 5: Extract the Tab Name**
\nTo pull the tab name to find the cell value, simply input the following formula into the desired cell:
\n“`
\n=CELL(“filename”,A1)
\n“`
\nBy referencing the cell that contains the CELL function, you can automatically display the name of the tab within which the cell resides.<\/p>\n
