Dynamic links creation
Hi, Is there any way (even via VBA script) how to do this: 1. Having a column where cell values can be selected only using a pre-defined drop-down list (data source is on a different sheet) 2. ...

It seems like you do not need a hyperlink in A1. After all, clicking on the cell to select a different fruit would trigger the existing hyperlink instead, right? You could generate a hyperlink in a separate cell. But that's a second action for the user to get there. Instead…
Build the validation for cell A1 as usual, for example, as described in Excel Drop Down Lists - Data Validation. Within a Worksheet_Change event handler for Sheet1, when cell A1 changes, do a lookup to find the address on Sheet2 for the selected fruit, and execute the Application.Goto method for that address.
Here is possible code for the event handler:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim rngFruitType As Range Dim rngChgdCellsOfInterest As Range Dim strFruitType As String ' Dim objSheet2 As Worksheet Dim in4Row As Long '---- If a different type of fruit was selected... Set rngFruitType = Range("A1") ' Set rngChgdCellsOfInterest = Intersect(Target, rngFruitType) If rngChgdCellsOfInterest Is Nothing Then GoTo WkshtChg_Exit End If ' -- ... strFruitType = rngFruitType.Value If strFruitType = "" Then '...the changed cell(s) did not include the Fruit Type cell. GoTo WkshtChg_Exit Else ' -- Find the matching row on Sheet2. Set objSheet2 = Sheets("Sheet2") in4Row = WorksheetFunction.Match(strFruitType _ , objSheet2.Range("A1:A99")) ' -- Application.Goto "Sheet2!R" & in4Row & "C1" End If WkshtChg_Exit: Exit Sub End Sub
