Referencing a worksheet name

Hello,

I have a workbook with 10-15 worksheets with different names. I am trying to
set up a "Summary" worksheet that will have each worksheets name in column A
and then two summed columns with data from each worksheet (C4-D18 and
D31-E52).

Is there a way to reference the worksheet names in Column A within a
formula? For example, in place of SUM(Worksheet1!C418) I'd like to
reference the worksheet name in column A - SUM("Column A"!C418).

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

=SUM(INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!C418")

And to easily list the names into column A

Private Sub ListSheets()
'list of sheet names starting at A1
Dim Rng As Range
Dim i As Integer
Set Rng = Range("A1")
For Each Sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
Rng.Offset(i, 0).Value = Sheet.Name
i = i + 1
Next Sheet
End Sub

Declared *Private* in order to force the OP to run it from the VBE or
from another macro?! Simple fubar or sadistic streak?

Better to use a udf and allow the OP to decide where the list should
appear (as well as allowing the list to update on full recalcs or
kludged volatile recalcs).
