    Post Unable to create Hyperlink formula that links to todays date.

    I have a spreadsheet with a series of dates across row A, I would like to create a hyperlink that will link to todays date (which will be somewhere in row A).
    I cannot for the life of me get this to work properly. I assume it is not working because it is formatted as a date so the actual value of the cell is a number starting from January 1st 1900.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks,
    Oli

    Try

    =HYPERLINK("#" & ADDRESS(MATCH(TODAY(),$A$1:$A$100,0),1))

    Dates in A

    Re: Unable to create Hyperlink formula that links to todays date.

    He says "across Row A" so perhaps switching the arguments

    =HYPERLINK("#" & ADDRESS(1,MATCH(TODAY(),$A$1:$A$100,0)))

    To Oli, it's either row 1 or Column A,

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires

    I had the row A formula then changed it (senior moment!).

    If ROW 1

    =HYPERLINK("#" & ADDRESS(1,MATCH(TODAY(),$A$1:$ZZ$1,0)))

    if COLUMN A

    =HYPERLINK("#" & ADDRESS(MATCH(TODAY(),$A$1:$A$100,0),1))

    Thank you both for the replies. As you can tell I am quite new at this!

    I tried your latest formula for row 1 John and it works!

    Thanks a lot
