@Barry
Thanks for the tip about the sheet numbers. I didn't know how Excel handled them.
Neat solution too, thanks.

Here's an alternative that adds a sheet and names it "Sheet Names" to avoid any overwriting issues:

Sub List_of_Sheet_Names()

    Dim Number_of_Sheets As Integer
    Dim Row As Integer
    Dim Column As Integer
    Dim j As Integer
    Dim shtList As Worksheet
        
    'Delete an existing sheet named "Sheet Names"
    On Error Resume Next
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    Worksheets("Sheet Names").Delete
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    'create and name a new sheet, and position it at the far left
    Set shtList = Worksheets.Add(Before:=Sheets(1))
    shtList.Name = "Sheet Names"
    
    Number_of_Sheets = Sheets.Count
    'make the list of sheet names
    For j = 2 To Number_of_Sheets
        shtList.Cells(j - 1, 1) = Sheets(j).Name
    Next j
    
End Sub

NB if there is already a sheet named "Sheet Names" (e.g. if you've run the macro once already). then it will be deleted.

Note also the use of the "Before" parameter. This is because Excel sheet index number is in the order of the sheet tabs on the workbook itself i.e. the leftmost sheet tabs has index 1. The "Before" parameter positions the new sheet at the far left and so is not listed in the list of worksheets.

I went a little further and had the macro check that there are no currently filled cells in the range about to be occupied by the listing.

Excluding the declaration of variables, which should be fairly apparent, here is the code that I use now. It works well for me.

    NS = Sheets.Count
    R = ActiveCell.Row
    C = ActiveCell.Column
    NonBlank = 0
    
    For j = 1 To NS
        If Cells(R, C) <> "" Then
            NonBlank = NonBlank + 1
        End If
        R = R + 1
    Next j
    
    R = ActiveCell.Row
    
    If NonBlank > 0 Then
        MsgBox "This process will over-write existing cells." & vbCrLf & _
        "Please select an area of blank cells and re-start." & vbCrLf & _
            "Click OK to stop."
        Exit Sub
    Else
        For j = 1 To NS
            Cells(R, C).NumberFormat = "@"
            Cells(R, C) = Sheets(j).Name
            R = R + 1
        Next j
    End If


I hope this helps!

Thanks for this. Its just the start I needed to get what I want!

Altered it slightly and now the macro inserts the list of worksheets in the cell you pick.

Sub List_of_Sheet_Names()

    Dim Number_of_Sheets As Integer
    Dim Row As Integer
    Dim Column As Integer
    Dim j As Integer
        
    Number_of_Sheets = Sheets.Count
    Row = ActiveCell.Row
    Column = ActiveCell.Column
    
    For j = 1 To Number_of_Sheets
        Cells(Row, Column) = Sheets(j).Name
        Row = Row + 1
    Next j
    
End Sub

I would recommend in both of the above examples to clearing the column that will be used to store the sheet names, because if there is already data in the column that doesn't get overwritten by the macro then it will appear that there are more sheets than there actually are. Any subject macro where it to use the data in the column would give a run time error as it wouldn't be able to find the sheets at the end of the list (i.e. those entries that were not overwritten).

Brilliant in its simplicity. Just add two lines and make one small change if you want to decide which column to use, as follows.

Sub GetSheets()
    Dim j As Integer
    Dim NS As Integer
    Dim C As Integer
    
    NS = Sheets.Count
    C = ActiveCell.Column
    
    For j = 1 To NS
        Cells(j, C) = Sheets(j).Name
    Next j
    
End Sub

Before you run the macro, select any cell in the column where you want the list to appear. The column value from ActiveCell is assigned to the variable C and used in the positioning loop.
