    Hide/Unhide worksheets based on Index

    Hi,

    This has bothered me for a long time!

    I have 100 or even more tabs in one spreadsheet. I want to create an index page to make things easier when try to find the tab(s) I need. For example, I have 100 lines in the sheet1 (the Index); each name is matched to one of the tabs. If I clicked on one name, only the tab with that name would show up, and automatically hided all other tabs.

    Also, is it possible to select multi-tabs at the same time? Eg. if I selected A1, A4 and A89 at the same time in the sheet1, I would like to see these 3 sheets, and others were hidden.

    Thank you very much! Your help is highly appreciated.

    To get you started on some path, you can use hyperlinks to link to specfic sheets.
    Right click a cell, select "Hyperlink". Once the dialog box comes up, then at the left side select "Place in this document", under "cell reference" select a worksheet.
