In the Xl2bb shown below, you see in cell A3 the value A21 which is based on cell C21.
The issue I have is when a listed program changes row number in sheet ProgramLocInfo then I need cell A3’s value to reflect that in the hyperlink.
When a program changes row number in sheet ProgramLocInfo then obviously based upon the formulas in the relevant cells between B21 to D33 the values in the range A3:A15 change as well, but not the hyperlinks.
Is there a formula that will do this?
As you can see in the Xl2bb insert I have tried some formulas that you see in B17, B18, & B19. These did not work. I also tried a multitude of other suggestions found via my web search for an answer and I was unable to get anywhere.
p.s. I did not try one I just found on MrExcel: =IF(ISREF(INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!A1")),HYPERLINK("#"&A1&"!A1",A1),"") because not sure how I would implement it for my specific need.
p.p.s. I also was not sure about this one: Dynamic excel hyperlink
Also, the Excel sheet I am working on is already an xlsm file so I wouldn’t be opposed to VBA, but would much rather stick with formulas.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Hi MrDB4Excel,

I'm struggling to follow what you want but suspect A3 should hyperlink to ProgramLocInfo cell A21, but if the "calibre 64bit - E-book management" is moved to another row then the hyperlink should update.

It seems you've almost got it with B17 so does this do what you ask?

Bravo Toadstool!!! Perfect, absolute. Works like a charm. You made my day.
Thank you so much.

This may be a big reach, but is it possible that instead of the word "Click" that the cell indicates the cell on sheet ProgramLocInfo where the indicated program occurs, even when the program indicated is moved to another row?

Previous reply continued... from This may be a big reach,...

In other words, for example in cell A3 the phrase "Click" is looking at the content of cell C21 and always returns the result in C21 if the program is moved to another location.
So for example, if "calibre 64bit - E-book management" is moved on sheet ProgramLocInfo to row 24 then on sheet "Programs_1-3" cell C21 would report A24 thus causing cell A3 on sheet "Programs_1-3" to report A24.

In cell C21 try:
Excel Formula:
=ADDRESS(MATCH('Programs_1-3'!B3,ProgramLocInfo!$A$1:$A$141,0),1,4,1)

=ADDRESS(MATCH('Programs_1-3'!B3,ProgramLocInfo!$A$1:$A$141,0),1,4,1) works equally well as =SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A21,"$",""),"$",""); cell C21's result changes when the program "calibre 64bit - E-book management" is moved on sheet ProgramLocInfo to another row.
However; A3 still remains with the same result: "Click"

I'm not sure of the purpose from row 21 on Programs_1-3. I would suggest it can be done using the MATCH formula.

Thanks again Toadstool, your formula for A3 does the trick. The formula for D3 isn't needed, I tried it and it doesn't do anything for the purpose that I can perceive.
Column D is only a checklist for me as I determine if a program is to be reinstalled during my PC rebuild process.
Rebuild/ Reinstall: Y = Yes, N = No, M = Maybe

You're welcome.

I was guessing that column D in Program_1-3 might be one of many columns being pulled from ProgramLocInfo, in which case the INDEX and MATCH would be more efficient than using the volatile INDIRECT and the column A cell address.
