Automatically creating hyperlink to another sheet by text

votes

I would like to know how to create a hyperlink from one excel sheet to another, automatically through a script, based on equal text values that both cells in their respective sheets have.

If this can be done without a script, using a formula of some kind (like VLOOKUP) this would be preferable.

thanks for your time.

Are both sheets in the same workbook? Are you comparing values in the same column on both sheets? - Tim Williams
User the HYPERLINK function within a conditional formula, e.g. IF. That's the best I can offer based on the detail you provided. - Marc

  • Hyperlink on same sheet using a value in A1:

=HYPERLINK("#" & ADDRESS(MATCH(A1, B1:B5, 0), 2), "Link")

  • Hyperlink to a specific different sheet using a value in A1:

=HYPERLINK("#'My Database'!" & ADDRESS(MATCH($A1, 'My Database'!$A:$A, 0), 1), "Link")

  • Hyperlink to a sheet listed in cell A1

=HYPERLINK("#'" & A1 & "'!A1", "Link")

  • Hyperlink to a random position in a column that must be found on a random sheet listed in cell C3, matching the value in A1, a 3D INDEX/MATCH/Hyperlink:

=HYPERLINK("#" & CELL("address", INDEX(INDIRECT(C3 & "!A:A"), MATCH(A1, INDIRECT(C3 & "!A:A"), 0))), "Link")

There's a sample sheet found here where you can see these applied: 3D Hyperlink Examples
