    Question HYPERLINK function without filename

    I am trying to insert a hyperlink that refers to a cell in a different sheet of the same workbook using the =HYPERLINK function.

    I can get it to work with a formula like:

    However when I remove the filename so the formula looks like

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    I get a "cannot open specified file error"

    I really don't want to include the filename -- what if it changes?

    Is there any way to do this (other than using =CELL("filename"))?

    I also don't want to use the "Insert > Hyperlink" menu command, because I will eventually want to use a formula to create the address for the link.
