    Can a hyperlink in a workbook reference a Range name as opposed to a cell reference?

    Can a hyperlink in a workbook reference a Range name such that it continues to link the original cell if the location changes (resulting, say, from someone inserting a row)? The hyperlink dialog box will not let me enter a range name only a cell so if that cell moves the link now references the wrong cell.

    You were asked to update your thread title, not start a new thread. I will close the thread with the poor title.

    Creates a hyperlink to the range named DeptTotal on the First Quarter worksheet in the workbook saved at http://example.microsoft.com/report. The cell on the worksheet that contains the hyperlink displays "Click to see First Quarter Department Total" as its jump text.
