I tried using the formula =cell("filename"), but all worksheets shows the
same location in the cell. When F9 is pressed, it will update all the
worksheets to show the location of the worksheet I am working on.

Include the cell reference in your formula.

OR
Try the below for sheet name

=REPLACE(CELL("Filename",A1),1,FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1)),"")

Hi, I tried the =REPLACE(CELL("Filename",A1),1,FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1)),"").
It's work perfectly.
Example my sheet name is actually a date(eg. 20 NOV 2009). On Cell A1 it will display the 20 NOV 2009, but how do i detect A1 the date "20 NOV 2009" is actually which day(MON,TUE,WED,THUR,FRI,SAT or SUN). anyway i can do to let it detect from A1 and let which day actually it is???

What the formula returns is Text and not a real date.

=REPLACE(CELL("Filename",A1),1,FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1)),"")*1

will return a real date which you can format to ddd
