    Adding Hyperlinks to the names of sheets - the formula doesn't work

    Hello!

    I have found the formula that is supposed to create a hyperlink to the name of each sheet listed in a column. Please, take a look at the file I attach. There I describe how I created a list of names, using the macro (I believe it's a macro - I am not yet sure though). The formula INDEX() is used to get the name of each sheet. Works beautifully.

    But now I would like each name to be a link to that sheet. The formula I found is this one below (details are in the attached file). To be honest, first I would like to learn reading it correctly, and then find out why it doesn't work.

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    - where excel_qns.xlsm is the name of the file;

    - excel_qns is the name of the macro that gets the current workbook by using this formula

    Here is what I understand in the hyperlink formula:

    (1)
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    this formula is clear to me, and I now I know how it works;

    (2) I presume the following part of the hyperlink formula means get the name of the certain worksheet, where the ending !A1 shall change as the formula being copied down
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    for example, if we are at the sheet 1, this part returns [excel_qns.xlsm]Summary

    But then I don't understand why the IFERROR, or rather INDEX() part is repeated again.

    I will be grateful for your help on understanding the hyperlink formula and on fixing the problem thus making hyperlinks actually work.

    Thank you very much!
