    Hyperlink Cell name / sheet name - to change automatically

    Dear All

    I have a list of team members on Summary sheet and they are all listed from columns G5 to G31. They are all been hyperlinked to their own individual sheets showing their data. Issue is I have a few employees listed as Employee A, B, d etc and we change them to actual name when we need them. So only option is to change the sheet name and then change exactly in Column G cells. So for example if a new employee Dolly starts, if in G27, its employee Z, then i need to change Sheet employee Z to Dolly, and then change G27 to Dolly as well. I will still get error "reference invalid", but ateast the hyper link works. Is there a way to automate it, ie change the cell value and it automatically changes the hyperlinked sheet name as well?

    Regards and Thanks.

    do you require VBA solution or would a formula suffice?

    use INDIRECT formula to generate the hyperlink based on G cells

    Re: Hyperlink Cell name / sheet name - to change automatically

    well you either do it thru a worksheet_change event or have it run manually when you feel like updating it
    either instruct it to create the same said formula using VBA syntax to determine the sheet reference via cell or directly hard code an anchored hyperlink

    would be easier to explain how this would work if you provide a sample file

    Attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Re: Hyperlink Cell name / sheet name - to change automatically

    Apologies humdingaling, I was on bereavement leave off late and couldn't respond in time.

    I've attached a sample of what I m trying to achieve. As on summary sheet. If i change Cell F8,F9 or F10 to a particular Name, lets say Andy, the corresponding sheet name should also automatically change to Andy. At present what i am doing is changing sheet name and then copy paste the same into the corresponding cell on summary sheet.

    Hope I've explained well. Please advise when you get a chance.

    Thanks and Kind regards

    no need to be sorry, its not like losing sleep awaiting for replies from this forum


    the code is pretty much the same
    added in extra ' around the sheet name

    the thing is if the sheet is hidden it will not work
