I have searched the excel function documentation and general MSDN search but have been unable to find a way to return the sheet name without VBA.

Is there a way to get the sheet name in an excel formula without needing to resort to VBA?

Not very good with excel, but I found these here 

=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,256)

and A1 can be any non-error cell in the sheet.
For the full path and name of the sheet, use

=CELL("filename",A1)
