    Using Dropdown to jump to specific cell

    I've noticed there are a number of answers to similar questions already but I'm struggling to get them to work so apologies for a potentially duplicate question.

    I have a large spreadsheet with a wide range of training course data held in various sections. I would like to use a drop down list of the various course titles so that the user, when selecting a course title, is taken straight to the relevant section of the spreadsheet. The dropdown is currently located in AJ2 and sources from B51:B85 (including a blank at the top).

    As an example, if they select Health & Safety Awareness, I need to jump to AG7. If selecting 'Equality and Diversity', I need to jump to H95 and so on for the remaining course titles. If nothing is selected, then the sheet continues to allow navigation as normal.

    Any suggestions really welcome - thanks!

    Without sample workbook, hard to help you. To upload workbook, use "Go Advanced" button found at bottom right of Edit/Quick Reply screen.
    Then find "Manage Attachments" hyperlink and click on it. It will launch new tab/window.

    I'd imagine you could do this using .hyperlink.follow, using range.Find() or Application.Match() to find location to jump to.
