    Re: Hyperlink (cell reference columns not rows)

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. The sample layout accurately matches that of your real data. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

    Re: Hyperlink (cell reference columns not rows)

    This proposal adds a cell (A2) which will contain the three-letter month code chosen via a data validation drop down.
    The formula for cell B2 is: =HYPERLINK("#"&"'"&A2&"'!"&ADDRESS(1,2+MATCH(TODAY(),C1:AG1,0)),"Today")
    Information about the formula can be found in the linked tutorial: https://www.contextures.com/excelhyp...n.html#formula
    Scroll down to the section titled: 3) HYPERLINK Example - Excel File
    From there scroll down to: a) Link in Same File, and then: 2) Use Cell References

    Re: Hyperlink (cell reference columns not rows)

    cheers for looking at that, so you are using the drop down to direct which sheet the link goes to??
    (your formula doesn't seem to work this month)

    is there a way to use =TODAY to generate the three letter month code for the hyperlink?

    Not to say that this is elegant, however, you might want to try:
    Formula: copy to clipboard
