    Post Hyperlinks returns reference isn't valid

    Hello, new user here and this is my first post. Hopefully i make things easy because im not good at excel.

    Look at the sample worksheet, there are two tabs, TRADESHEET and Invetory list.

    in the TRADESHEET the cells A7 is a dependent drop down list that reads its value from A6. The list itself is in the Invetory list tab.

    The list in the Invetory list tab have heyperlinks that takes you to cell ranges on TRADESHEET tab when clicking a product.

    What i need is when i select a product from drop down list in cell A7 from TRADESHEET tab and click on it, it should behave similary to clicking that same product from the Invetory list tab and take me to the appropriate cell range location.

    Currently cell A7 from TRADESHEET tab shows that theres hyperlink there but when clicked is says reference isnt valid.

    How do i make this work? I've followed few online tutorials and youtube videos but nothing works.

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    I can get the link to take you to the cell in column D adjacent to the item.
    In the name manager find My_Item using a Refers To of:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Perhaps you or someone else can take it from here to modify the formula so that it links to a range of cells.
