    Auto-Update Links Within the Same Workbook

    Hi, I am Ian Malik. Within the same Workbook I have created a link in Worksheet1 to a specific cell on Worksheet2. Later, I inserted a new row into Worksheet2 above the referenced cell, so now the link in Worksheet1 refers to the wrong cell. Please advise if my link can be auto-updated and how to do it. Thank you and kind regards..... I am using Excel 2019.

    Re: Auto-Update Links Within the Same Workbook

    When you say, "I have created a link", did you actually go to INSERT, LINK, INSERT LINK, or are you just referencing the cell (Meaning in the cell on Sheet2 you entered something like =Sheet1!B5?

    Thank you for your response Gregb11. I actually inserted a link in Worksheet1 via: INSERT / LINK / INSERT HYPERLINK to a specific cell in Worksheet2.

    Give the cell a "Defined Name" so then if you insert rows/columns the link will still go there.
