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.

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
ok, in Workbook "Quotation Program.xlsm", Sheet "August", type in this formula:
=HYPERLINK("[Quotation Unit Price.xlsm]"&MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,255)&"!A1","destination")This will dynamically open "Quotation Unit Price.xlsm" in sheet "August".
If you don't want this to be dynamic, then use this formula:
=HYPERLINK("[Quotation Unit Price.xlsm]#August!A1","destination")This will have the same end result as the previous formula but, you will need to modify, in the formula, "August" to whatever sheet you want to land in your workbook.
For example, if you want to land in the sheet named "June", your formula will look like this:
=HYPERLINK("[Quotation Unit Price.xlsm]#June!A1","destination")Finally, the last "destination" in the formula is simply whatever will be presented on your sheet so you can type in whatever you want.
Hi Me again that works perfectly! One example I have in cell M4 HYPERLINK("[Quotation Unit Prices.xlsm]#January!G4","Open Unit Prices") on January worksheet of Quotation Program.xlsm workbook. There is 160 rows in each of this two workbooks. The idea is that if you are in cell M132 the hyperlink must land on cell G132 of january worksheet. If I copy M4 and paste the formula M5 to M160 the 4 in hyperlink do not count on from 5 to 160 because it is inside the quotes. Is there any way to formulate hyperlink to achieve my goal. I hope you understand???
