Microsoft Excel - Hyperlink to sheet based on cell value on another sheet

Asked By Aaron Stockton on 17-Jul-13 10:50 PM
G'day All,

I have an excel spreadsheet called 'Scenario Development' with the following sheets
  • Front page
  • Scenario Overview
  • Scenario Scripting
  • Apartment Building
  • Cargo Ship

There will be more sheets soon.

What I want to do is have a Hyperlink on the 'Front Page' called "Virtual World Design" which will then go to the sheet that corresponds with the Text in 'Scenario Scripting'!J3

For example if 'Scenario Scripting'!J3' = "Apartment Building" then by clicking on the "Virtual World Design" link on the 'Front Page' then the 'Apartment Building' sheet opens up.

Hope this makes sense.

Thank you in advance.

Hello Aaron,
Try
=HYPERLINK("[hyperlink.xlsx]"&Sheet2!J3&"!A1","Virtual World design")
Of course you will need to modify it to suit you situation eg the file name, sheet names etc.
