I am making this much harder than needed as a lot of the information in the cells are not entered directly into the cell, but functions referencing other worksheets. Any ideas on how to go about this? I am sort of familiar with the INDEX&MATCH functions but wasn't sure how to insert it into the HYPERLINK function.

If the second formula returns the exact value you want, you can insert it (minus the = at the beginning) into the first formula in place of each of the D4 references. Do it one at a time to make sure your formula keeps working.

Sometimes, not always, you also need to put parenthesis around the inserted function to make sure it gets treated as a single event.


I count 3 D4 references...that's going to be a monstrously long formula. Sure you want to do that?
