    Hyperlink to a value from another sheet using match/vlookup

    Hi

    I'm trying to link a value from a sheet to the same value from another sheet. The value from the second sheet might have multiple lines, and I want to see them all when I click the hyperlink. Is it doable?

    I'm attaching an example, maybe it would be easier to understand what i'm trying to do.

    Thank you

    maybe it will help:
    HYPERLINK
    or
    HYPERLINK 2

    Re: Hyperlink to a value from another sheet using match/vlookup

    Hi Sandy,

    Consider me dumb, but I couldn't make it. I've seen that you had the right answer for both topics, maybe you can help me also .

    MR Raimund from sheet1 with id 231628, has 3 different categories in sheet2: COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY, ENTERPRISE CONTENT MANAGEMENT and PARTNER MANAGEMENT. When I click the hyperlink from Hyperlink column, I want to be sent to those 3 rows. If i put the formula like this: =HYPERLINK(VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!A:B,2,0)), i get only the first matched value and when I click it, i get an error message: cannot open the specified file.

    I reattached the file with this formula inserted.

    If you will have time to look a bit over this, I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks

    Re: Hyperlink to a value from another sheet using match/vlookup

    =HYPERLINK("#INDEX('Sheet2'!$B$2:$B$24,MATCH(A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$24,0))",INDEX(Sheet2!$B$2:$B$24,MATCH(A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$24,0)))
    but (always has to be a "but")...
    you cannot drag it down or everywhere because link will not change*), only second part of hyperlink will change (name to click)
    so you should update every hyperlink manually.

    *) - first part of hyperlink is between double quotes what is mean this is a text so it cannot change itself

    or you can use this:
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    and drag down

    hyperlink cannot "move" you to multirow

    Wow! You're a star! Thanks so much.

    But we still have that issue with MR Raimund that has multiple categories. Can this be solved with a copy of hyperlink formula on the next cell (column) and somehow skip the first match? And move to the next columns until it gets to the last category.

    Re: Hyperlink to a value from another sheet using match/vlookup

    you mean:
    for value: 231628
    show all matches:
    COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY
    ENTERPRISE CONTENT MANAGEMENT
    PARTNER MANAGEMENT
    APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
    CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
    in columns/rows?
    if yes you should read more about dependent lists and reorganize your data.
    maybe here you will find solution.

    EDIT:
    UNIQUE_ID from DataValidation List (drop down list) and in next column (or somewhere) results with link
    I assume not only Raimund has one ID with multiple category
    I know your source data (example) but really don't know what you want to get as results (and how it looks). Any example with results with one ID - one category and one ID and multiple category?

    Update .xlsx
    Copy of test.v2.2.xlsx
    is it ok? but without hyperlinks.
