    Hyperlink

    Hi,

    how do i manually create a hyperlink?

    i know i can select the cell and then insert hyperlink (CTRL+K) and then select the sheet/cell i want it to go to but...

    i have to do this for 200 rows on 2 different sheets.
    i want to be able say to Sheet1 A1 Link to Sheet2 A1 then Sheet1 A2 Link to Sheet3 A1 so the only thing i need to change is the sheet number... not the cell.

    is there a formula that i can drag down to do this or somthing else?

    Regards,
    Jamie

    Re: Hyperlink

    Try something like:

    =HYPERLINK("#'Sheet"&ROWS($A$1:$A2)&"'!A1","Click Here")

    copied down

    Note: You can change "Click here" to any text you want to use to advise user of linking...
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Re: Hyperlink

    Thats works perfectly but what i didn't know is that when i do the following it loses the hyperlink

    HTML Code: 
    You can probably tell but this basically makes that cell = whatever is displayed in another workbook.

    When i put that in it then loses the hyperlink... is there anyway of putting the 2 codes together?

    Re: Hyperlink

    Have a look at the HYPERLINK function in Excel help. There are several examples there...

    I am not sure how you are combining that last post with the original request....

    Re: Hyperlink

    i have got 2 workbooks (lets say book1 and book2)
    book2 copies pretty much everything in book1

    for eample book2, sheet1, a1 = book1, sheet1, a1
    i also need book2, sheet1, a1 to link to book2, sheet2, a1

    so book2 needs to not only = book1 but the same cell needs to hyperlink to another sheet, hope that makes sense

    i didnt realise that after putting
    HTML Code: 
    in it would lose the link, i knew the text would change but i thought the link would have be retained?

    Regards,
    Jamie

    Re: Hyperlink

    To link to a specific cell or cells in another workbook I think you have to used named cells (i.e go the cell in the other workbook and then go to Insert|Name|Define or enter a name in the box above cell A1 in the same line as the formula bar....

    the "friendly name" argument (2nd argument in the HYPERLINK) formula can be a formula itself which references that named cell.. so that the actual value in the cell appears and then you can hyperlink it...

    .. again review Hyperlink Help for specific syntax.... Hyperlinks
