    Hyperlink, Index, and Match Formula

    Hello,

    I am hoping to ask some assistance in a formula to bring over a hyperlink from the cell that I am using the INDEX/MATCH formula to bring over.

    My current formula:

    =IF(ISNA(INDEX(Edit,MATCH(A14,Name,0))),"",INDEX(Edit,MATCH(S15,Name,0)))

    Edit and Name are both defined names in the Name Manager of the workbook.

    How would I incorporate a HYPERLINK formula to bring over the hyperlink that is in the cell that the INDEX/MATCH formula is grabbing?

    Also, in case it makes a difference, the link in the cells that the INDEX/MATCH formula is grabbing is a link to another location within the workbook.

    Thank you for your assistance!

    If the hyperlink is an underlying link and the displayed text is not the link itself, then you can't do it with a formula; you have to use a macro.

    If the hyperlink is the actual text of the cell then you can do this:

    =IF(ISNA(INDEX(Edit,MATCH(A14,Name,0))),"",HYPERLINK(INDEX(Edit,MATCH(S15,Name,0))))

    Thank you very much for your response! And glad to see a fellow musician on here :-)

    I have attached an example of what I am looking for. I tried your suggested formula and it said that the destination couldn't be located. If a macro is involved, would you have knowledge of what this macro would be?

    Thank you for your help!

    I have been experimenting with this for a few days but have not been able to figure out how to implement a UDF that will provide a link at the level of indirection you are using. That is, you are linking to cell that in turn has a hyperlink, and that hyperlink references a named range.

    Not saying it can't be done, just that I haven't been able to figure it out in a limited amount of time.
