How do I create a link from a cell in one sheet to a cell in another sheet?

Posted by Joe on July 19, 2001 3:07 PM

Let's say I'm in sheet 1 cell A1. I want to create a link from that cell to sheet 2 cell b4. Is there a way to do this in Excel 97? How?

Joe,

What do you mean by a link? Do you mean a formula in e.g., A1 on sheet1 that reference cell B4 on sheet2?

What I'm trying to do is be able to click on cell A1 on sheet one and be taken to sheet 2 cell B4. Also, thanks for the quick response.

Would a hyperlink be sufficient for what you have in mind?

I am going to eventually put the sheets into HTML format so if the hyperlink can take me directly to the specific cell, I could go that route. How's it done?

Joe,

This is in Excel 2000.

In A1 enter: =HYPERLINK("[Joe.xls]Sheet2!B4","CLICK HERE")

where I named the workbook Joe.xls. The second arg to the HYPERLINK function can be anything meaningful to the user.
