    Hyperlink to cell by matching a value in another worksheet

    Hello everyone,

    New to the forum, I've been reading a lot of the posts to avoid resubmitting questions and have learned a lot in the process. So thank you! But now I have a question that I need help with.

    I'm trying to create a hyperlink that directs me to the cell in Column A of Sheet2 that matches an exact value from Column A on Sheet1. After much research, I've come up with the following formula:

    =HYPERLINK("[AE Job Tracking.xlsx]April Notes!"&ADDRESS(MATCH(A6,'April Notes'!A6:A120,0),1,1,,"April Notes"),"Go to")

    When I click the hyperlink that was created, it returns a message that says "Reference is not valid." I literally copied the value between the two sheets to identify the matches more easily in a test run, but the link doesn't work.

    Is this an error in my formula? If so, can you please help me correct it? Thank you in advance!

    Hello
    You seem to be referencing the worksheet twice. You only need to reference the sheet once. For example this goes to cell A6 on Sheet1 in the current workbook:

    Or, simply:

    =HYPERLINK("#Sheet1!A6","Go to")
