How can I access the name of a sheet in a formula?

we have the convention where particular series of sheets start with "YY_XXX9999_etc" where the YY is a overall Project code and the XXX9999 is a code for the location where tasks will be done. I want to extract the code from the sheet name and use it to populate the sheet with additional information from a master list of locations. Is this possible? e.g. =MID({SheetName}, 2, 7)

    You would need to leverage the API or the premium add-on Bridge to accomplish this.


    Otherwise you would need to manually enter it (probably in a sheet summary field) and then reference that, but you would have to remember to manually update the field if the sheet name changes at any point.
