Hi folks
I have a wb with an ever growing number of sheets. I also have a register on my first sheet storing details of each sheet contents. I'd like to create a hyperlink on the register page to jump straight to any sheet based on the sheet name stated in Col A. I've tried a number of things and failed spectacularly. I imagine I'm missing something stupid.... as usual. I'm trying to create a formula to take the sheet name from col A and create a hyperlink in Col G, my current failed formula is shown below.
Am I missing something stupid folks?
Thanks

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
Hi there,

Try to use the following:

=Hyperlink("#Sheet4!A2",A3)

It is: Hyperlink("reference to the sheet you need",friendly name pickled up from the table you are referring to in column A)

The hashtag makes this one work and without it doesn't !

Hopefully this helps in some way

Thanks Scott, it works, but only on that first row, if I click and drag that down, the cells display the correct sheet number, but the link remains the same as the first one, so they all link to the same sheet.

Unless of course I'm missing something

Actually thinking more about it try this: =HYPERLINK("#'" & A3 & "'!A1", A3) (A1 is the cell you want to jump to on the sheet)
