Thanks for the reply but unfortunately I dont think that will help in my scenario when using hyperlinks within the same workbook. When I insert rows the cell position of some of the hyperlinks change and then when clicked on go to the wrong position. Is there a way to resolve that problem?

=HYPERLINK(CELL("address",Sheet1!A1))
CELL converts the referenced cell into a text, HYPERLINK evaluates this and jumps to it. And since are using a real cell reference, it changes with every change.
An example file is included.
I didn't do anything other than what I sent you before :).
Hope this helps you to get further in Excel.
I wish you much success with Excel.

It would be an advantage if the Excel version, operating system and storage medium were known. A file (without sensitive data) would be even better.
