    Vlookup won't return hyperlink

    I have a listing of documents on the "Training Listing" tab that lists out many different training documents. Each listing has a link that opens the PDF document. The Training calendar tab allows me to assign the training documents to different weeks, and i use a vlookup function in the training calendar tab to pull the training documents from the training listing tabe based on the week number that i want to assign it to.

    The issue is that when the vlookup formula returns the proper value, the hyperlink to the document doesnt carry over from the training listing tab. I want the calendar to remain dynamic so that i can change the weeks if needed.

    document attached!

    VLOOKUP - as with pretty much all excel functions - only returns the cell's contents, not any formatting or anything else associated with that cell. You will need to create a new H/L in the vlookup cell
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
