Switching/Opening worksheets across 2 workbooks

Hi kobus1305,
Try this:
=HYPERLINK("[c:\test\excel\destination.xlsx]"&MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,255)&"!A1","destination")Obviously, you will need to change "c:\test\excel\destination.xlsx" for your path and your filename.
This will grab the sheet name you are currently in and will open the same sheet in your destination workbook.

Hi, Thank you so much for your response. I do not think I have expressed the situation so very well. I am going to forward the workbook to you. You will see in column header "Open Quotation Unit Prices" is the hyperlinks on each worksheet. That means when workbook "Quotation Unit Prices" is opened that hyperlink knows on which worksheet it is and which worksheet to open on. My Hyperlink do not have a path name in it because the files is in the same directory on the hard drive. I just can not figure out how to format the Hyperlink function to accomplish it.
Regards
Thank You

Hi,
You sent "Quotation Program". I'm assuming you have another workbook named "Quotation unit price" somewhere, right? Sorry I'm a bit confused, I feel like I'm missing some info.
Either way, the following will give you the name of the current worksheet:
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,255)So, in my previous post, I concatenate it in the hyperlink formula. that way, if you are in workbook "ABC.xlsx", in sheet "august" the link will open workbook "DEF.xlsx" in sheet "august" You can remove the path for the filename if you want but leaving it there won't hurt.
So, if you can send me the other missing file, tell me exactly where and in which workbook & worksheet you want the link to be (give me the actual cell. e.g."E1") I'll be able to better assist you.

Hi,
I am confused to!!!!!When I am in workbook "Quotation Program.xlsm" on August worksheet and select the hyperlink "Hyperlink("Quotation Unit Prices .xlsm") to open or switch to "Quotation Unit Prices.xlsm"
how must the hyperlink looks like to also open on August worksheet in "Quotation Unit Prices.xlsm? The function do not have to go looking for which worksheet I am on. Each hyperlink function is formulated on each worksheet for that worksheet!
Regards
Thank You
