I have created 500 separate sheets based off a list that I created: IT001 - IT500. The names of the sheets are all listed in a single column (C). I need to create a hyperlink to jump to the correct sheet based upon the name of the sheet that is stored in the cell (Column C or B). I don't want to go through the task of Right-Clicking, Link, Scroll to the correct sheet, and click on it... 500 separate times.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Excel Facts

Not everything I do at work revolves around Excel. Only the fun parts.
USE a hyperlink function instead, like this maybe in Column D/E
Excel Formula:
=HYPERLINK("#'"&C3&"'!A1",C3)
, assuming your data starts from Row 3, and you can drag it down. Surely you can select the entire cells in column C and use the hyperlink to create it at once, but you would notice that only the first cell has the hyperlink format while the others look like plain text, but the links are behind

Unfortunately no. I can use the hyperlink formula to create one correct cell based upon the sheet name by manually typing it, but it won't drag and fill. Still left with the same scenario.

I tried typing in the code you provided (thank you), but it gives me a #name? error.

Suggestions?

Nevermind... I am an idiot. Can't type this morning. That worked.

Thank you!!
