    Absolute Hyperlinking within the Worksheet

    In trying to make an alphabetized record of all inventory for work, I ran into a snafu when creating shortcuts for other users to the different letters.

    I hyperlinked something like a table of contents together and hyperlinked them to the cells, so clicking on B in the table of contents takes you to cell B64. I want to future-proof it with absolute references but haven't been able to.

    I tried right clicking and typing in the cell name--but when I add more cells, instead of moving to B72 like it should, the hyperlink stays in B64, which is now part of the As.

    I also tried: =HYPERLINK(A$64,"B") as well as =HYPERLINK(B_Start,"B") by naming the cell. The name went to B72, but the link stayed in B64

    I'm at wit's end with this. Any idea if its even possible to do this?

    That did it, thanks!

    Just for learning purposes, why is that different from the methods I tried?

    The first argument of the HYPERLINK function needs to be text. If you reference a cell...that cell needs to contain text.
