    Table of Products

    Hi there,

    I have a workbook with about 100 worksheets, each for a different product. What I would like to do is create a table of contents (with hyperlinks) using the worksheet names.
    The worksheets have names such as: A-1, A-2...,B-1, B-2...,C-1,C-2...,D-1,D-2...
    Furthermore, I would like to sort the products into about 4 different columns (A,B,C,D)

    Example:
    Table of Products
    A B C D
    A-1 B-1 C-1 D-1
    A-2 B-2 C-2 D-2

    I have the following code (not mine) that creates the a list hyperlinks, which works quite well but not exactly what I would like. I have tried some 'if' statements using the 'like' command but I couldn't get it work. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Try this modified macro. I deleted the "Product" title as I wanted all the links to start at the same row leaving row 1 empty for you to add tiltes manually if you want.
    I supposed your sheet were name A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2, B-3, C-1, etc. As I am using the first letter of the sheet name to locate the link in the proper column, you must have them named properly.

    Re: Table of Products

    Your code works pretty well to seperate the pages by their first letter. However I may have made my initial example a bit to simplistic. I guess a more accurate representation of what I would like to achieve is this:
    The worksheets are labelled like: LWP-1, LWP-2...LAP-1, LAP-2.., LHP-1, LHP-2, and some random names.
    And then the table to like:
    LAP LHP LWP MISC
    LAP-1 LHP-1 LWP-1 Random1
    LAP-2 LHP-2 LWP-2 Random2

    I'm not sure if the best way to go about it is to sort by second letter, but then some of the Randoms may get put into the other three columns. Or maybe to search for "LAP", "LHP", "LWP" and sort that way.

    Thanks again for all your help.

    Re: Table of Products

    Are these the only 4 columns you'll ever need?
    And the sheets will always be named "LAP", "LHP", "LWP"?
    Any other named sheets would be put in the fourth column, right?

    Maybe not ever but for the very long immediate future.
    Ya just the 3 names and then everything else goes in the Miscellaneous column.

    Thanks!

    Re: Table of Products

    I almost solved the problem...the script below categorizes the LAP, LHP, LWPs into their proper columns. The only problem I have now is that I can't figure out how to put everything else into a miscellaneous column. Probably not the prettiest code...or most logical but it works haha.
