    Pre Set Worksheet Names and Formulas in Worksheet to Reference Project Number

    Hey Guys,

    I tried this question yesterday, but I did not explain myself well; so I built a workbook that I attached that better shows my dilemma. I want to Pre Create, and Pre Name worksheets, and Add Dyanamic Formulas to them to reference a list of projects. But if that project is moved from one table to another, I want to keep the reference. The Key is that I want to pre build the worksheets, so the user doesn't have to rename anything. I've attached the workbook sample. Questions and comments are highlighted in yellow. Must be done with formulas if possible. Thanks in Advance! Love this community!

    Re: Pre Set Worksheet Names and Formulas in Worksheet to Reference Project Number

    I am not sure I understand the whole project. I think I understand this part
    I want to Pre Create, and Pre Name worksheets, and Add Dyanamic Formulas to them to reference a list of projects.
    In order to use a grouped sheets approach do these preliminary steps:

    Standardize the 'Project #' sheets so they have the same format.
    1. All rows and columns are in the same locations relative to each other.
    2. Headers in 'Project #' sheets are identical to 'Project Entry' headers.

    1. Group Project sheets. If you are not familiar with how to do this click 'Project 1' and while pressing the Shift key click 'Project 4'
    2. This will enable all formulas entered in 'Project 1' to populate the other Project sheets with appropriate relevant references.
    3. In A1 enter this formula

    4. It will return each Project sheet's name in it's cell A1.
    5. I encourage doing this once in A1 rather than down column A of each grouped sheet. The reason is that the CELL function is volatile. It and all its dependents must recalculate with every edit whether relevant or not. Doing this in A1 you can copy A1 (still grouped) and paste back to A1 values only. It is no longer volatile.
    Then with sheets still grouped enter this in a7 as in the attached and fill down.

    Then in B7 filled down and across

    Re: Pre Set Worksheet Names and Formulas in Worksheet to Reference Project Number

    Thank you so much for your help, I think I can use some of this, but I think I left something important out. I want some Hyperlink in the first Project row to take me to a worksheet, in that worksheet, I want to automatically reference the row I just came from. I can do that much, but when I move the row in Project Entry to "Completed Projects", I want the link to follow it. So I dont want the cell in that row to link to the worksheet, I either want the text "Wash Car" or some other way, to take me to the same Worksheet every time, no matter where that row ends up. Its really a navigation problem, with dynamic formulas thrown in just to make it harder. And of course I want the same thing for each row. Thanks in advance!
