Hi,

I'm trying to make a contact list sheet for keeping track of which companies my coworkers have contacted for sponsorship. Each have their own tab to keep an updated list of who they've contacted, that makes it easy to see if anyone else has already contacted them.

We would like it to have one list that updates from column A in each tab, and then have the name of the originating tab in the next cell.

I've been researching, and the only formula I've found that sort of seems to do what I want is as follows, =RIGHT(CELL("filename",Dawn!A1),LEN(CELL("filename",Dawn!A1))-FIND("]",CELL("filename",Dawn!A1)))

But I'm assuming I have to manually enter it for each company.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
Hold down ctrl and select the tabs (or shift to include all from first to last selected in order) to apply the formula to the same cell in each sheet

To list all the tab names use this:

I think the OP was after a list of all the tab names to be generated in a sheet. Unless I'm mistaken, what you propose simply enables Group Mode, and I don't see how you propose to list the actual tab names using that feature.


@rizzingo

Welcome to the forum! Apologies, but it's not clear to me what you're trying to achieve. Your title infers that you want a list of tab names, but from your description it sounds as if you actually want some sort of mixture of the tab names plus actual data from those tabs. Can you please clarify? Even better, could you provide an example using some dummy data and outline clearly what you would like to see in this results tab?

Regards
