    Hyperlink - External FIle

    Hey All,

    Hope you guys can help.

    I have attached an excel to help explain my issue.

    On the attached, If i change cell F2 to match any value in column A then i would like to return the text in column C in G2 (i assume like a vlookup) but want to create a Link instead where I can click on it and it will bring me to the cell in Column B.

    In my example i want Cell G2 to have a link that would bring me to Cell B2. However in the exmaple if i entered 1.03 then G2 remains empty.

    hope this is all clear.

    Additionally, how could i change this to look up a external excel file saved on my computer?

    Stephen

    The formula below can be used in the same workbook.
    =HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",INDEX(B:B,MATCH(F2,A:A,0))),INDEX(B:B,MATCH(F2,A:A,0)))

    n the same sheet
    =HYPERLINK("#A1"&CELL("address",INDEX(B:B,MATCH(F2,A:A,0))),INDEX(B:B,MATCH(F2,A:A,0)))
    in the same workbook
    =HYPERLINK("#Sheet5!A1"&CELL("address",INDEX(B:B,MATCH(F2,A:A,0))),INDEX(B:B,MATCH(F2,A:A,0)))
    to another workbook (must be open!)
    =HYPERLINK("#'[series .xlsm]Excel'!$A$1"&CELL("address",INDEX(B:B,MATCH(F2,A:A,0))),INDEX(B:B,MATCH(F2,A:A,0)))
