Yep. That would work except for the other point i forgot to mention. The
reason why I am using the indirect is that the worksheet i am using changes
(i have over 250 lines for it).

For example.
In the cell A225 is the figure 10. That figure also corrosponds to the
worksheet called ten. Therefor, by clicking on my hyperlink (which is the
address), it will reference cell A225 (which is the job number), and which
will bring up that worksheet (10) which will show me the details of that job.

I hope that makes sense.

Basically, the cell that i am indirectly referencing must be able to be used
in a fill.

Appreciate your help so far.

Adapting from a David McRitchie's post,
and assuming cell A225 contains: 5
think you could try:

=HYPERLINK("#'5'!B4",INDIRECT("'"&$A225&"'!B4"))

where INDIRECT("'"&$A225&"'!B4") returns the data in '5'!B4
which will display in the formula cell as the hyperlinked text.

I have a formula;

=HYPERLINK(INDIRECT($A225&"!"&"$B$4"),INDIRECT($A2 25&"!"&"$B$4"))

that is not working. It comes up with an error message "Cannot open
specified file".

Originally, the cell contained the following formula, but i'm trying to

put
a hyperlink over the top of it.

=INDIRECT($A224&"!"&"$B$4")

This indirect statement basically returns the data in workbook / cell
'5'!B4. I want to be able to hyperlink to that.
