    Hyperlink to a Looked up Reference...

    I would like to create a Hyperlink that will go from a specific place on worksheet number 1 to a specific place on worksheet number 2.

    The column on worksheet #1 contains a 6 digit value (customer number). I would like to hyperlink the 6 digit value in this column to the customer area on worksheet 2. Customer on worksheet 2 is in row1.

    When I click on the customer in worksheet 1, do an HLOOKUP? in row 1 on worksheet 2 until you find the customer number and then determine that column and make the reference be column1? Is that possible?

    ex... worksheet 1 has 123456 - I click on 123456 and it moves me to worksheet 2, row 1, AD (the location of 123456) on worksheet 2.

    Give the cell where the target customer number is stored a name, then go to the lookup worksheet and create a hyperlink to a bookmark. In the wizard you will see a list of named ranges you can select from for the hyperlink.

    Thanks

    tuph,

    Thanks for the tip... That is how I do it now... Manually create the hyperlink to the specific place in the other worksheet plus about 6 or 8 columns so that it appears right next to my column B.

    This is an entirely manual process so as customers go away and new ones are added I spend way too much time adjusting hyperlinks. What I was looking for was a more automated way that would allow me to put a formula into the HYPERLINK function to build this hyperlink automatically for me.

    Ah! You probably need some VBA code then, which is way beyond my level of expertise. Perhaps our recent exchange of messages will prompt someone more expert to respond.

    Good luck!
