    basic hyperlink function

    How do I use the hyperlink function so the hyperlink goes to another page in the same excel document?

    For example, I want the hyperlink in sheet one to take me to sheet 2. How do I do this using the hyperlink function?

    Hey,
    is there any way of doing this using the hyperlink function? because i want the hyperlink change as data in a drop down list changes.
    Example: Cell contains 1,2,3,4 and 5 in a drop down list. If cell one is selected the hyperlink will be different from 2,3,4 and 5. All different data has their own unique hyperlink.

    I was thinking of using the IF function along with the HYPERLINK function to get this done.

    Try The indirect aproach
    =HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",INDIRECT("M"&A1)), B2)
    A1 is the drop down menu
    M is the column
    B2 is the text the hyperlink shows

    Thanks.

    But its not exactly what im looking for. I should have said earlier.

    Is there any way of having each item in the drop down list as text, link to a different page on the spreadsheet?
