    Drop down list to find relevant cell that contains that text

    Hi

    I need to have a drop down list and for the selected value to be used to take me to the cell, on the same sheet, that contains that value.

    I have searched every where on the site but cannot find a solution

    Thank You

    Welcome to the forum.

    You certainly won’t be able to do this without VBA - shall I move the thread for you to that section?

    You cannot do this directly from the DD, but you could do this with a helper cell.

    If your DD is in M4 and contains regular cell refs (A1, G5, K10 etc)
    you could put this in a cell next to it, it will provide a clickable hyperlink to the cell you select...
    =HYPERLINK("#"&M4,M4)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Ali - Thank you.
    Please move this to whatever you is the best section.
    I was hoping to avoid VBA, but expect it is the only way
