Hyperlink to TODAY date in a range

Hi there,

I have a range of dates and I wanted to have a Hyperlink to TODAY date in the range, the dates are in rows not columns.
It works for searching in a column but not in a range.

I don't want to use VBA cause the file will be on SharePoint and codes will not work there!

I have attached a sample what works, mean it can search for today in column that has a range of dates.

WHAT works? What is 'it'?

I do not have an example to attach.

Can't you knock up a quick sample?

This does it:

=HYPERLINK("#"&SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,MATCH(B1,3:3,0),4),1,"")&3,"Find Today")

see file. The bit in red relates to the row number in which the dates are to be found.

That works perfectly for dates in a row! Thank you @Glenn.

Is there any other way to find dates on multiple rows? Because in my sheet I have dates on multiple rows and not just one.

Thanks again for help, I appreciate it.

Time to mock up another sheet to SHOW me what you mean....

Mmmm. One quick Q. What is in between the date rows? More dates, or what??

If it's more dates, is there some way of telling WHICH date rows are to be used? If it's numbers, can any of the numbers be the same as the dates (today being 44532, as for as Excel is concerned...)?

OK. I overwrote =TODAY() in B1 for testing. Jus entering random dates.

=HYPERLINK("#"&ADDRESS(MAX(IF(B$5:$X$9=B1,ROW(B$5:$X$9))),MAX(IF(B$5:$X$9=B1,COLUMN(B$5:$X$9))),4,,),"Find today")

You seem to be using an older version of Excel than me. So, please refer to the attached file. If the formulae are enclosed within a pair of { }, these are array formulae.

These are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed in the FIRST CELL ONLY by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. After that, the array can be dragged down as normal, to cover the desired range.

You will know the array is active when you see the curly brackets { } appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...

However, if you find managing array formulae a pain in the @$$, here is a non-array version:

=HYPERLINK("#"&ADDRESS(AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW(B$5:$X$9)/(B$5:$X$9=B1),1),AGGREGATE(15,6,COLUMN(B$5:$X$9)/(B$5:$X$9=B1),1),4,,),"Find today")
