Hello Olivier and Steve, I believe the SHEET function has error in both ODF section and help pages. The function states that it returns sheet number or name string for the referenced sheet (either by cell or by name area or a sheet name). But I believe it *can only return sheet number not sheet name*.
MS Excel's documentation seems to not have that error and Calc's function is also working accordingly.
