What happened to Sandy???
This worked ok for me:
=HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",INDEX(Sheet2!A10:A40 ,MATCH(A39,Sheet2!A10:A40,0))),
"Sally")
(still all one cell)
(I thought that you wanted to be taken to a worksheet named Sandy from your
original description.)

with further research i found this formula:
=HYPERLINK(CELL("address",INDEX(sheet2!A10:A40,MAT CH(A39,sheet2!A10:A40,0))),"Sally")
however, it is giving me " cannot open specified file". But the hyperlink
address is giving me the correct addres....sally is located in a36 in sheet2,
and that is what the address says where i put this formula.
help!
thank you!

reference not valid" this time.. :-(
let me give you more details on my worksheet...
the name "Sandy" is located in Sheet1, A25.
Her detail page is located somewhere in column A in sheet2.
so when i put the formual in b25, should create a hyperlink if the name is
found, so that I am able to click on it and takes me to wherever her name
exist in sheet2.
Thank you for your patient.. i am learning...

My sample wasn't as nice as it could have been:
With Sandy in H23, put this formula in I23:
=HYPERLINK("#"&"'"&H23&"'!a1","click me")
Watch that single quote ' -- you dropped it in your formula.
The H23 contains the worksheet name to go to. The A1 is the cell that will be
the one selected.
The # sign is an indicator for the subaddress in the link.
You may have seen it used in links to web sites:
http://www.contextures.com/xlfaqApp.html#AlreadyOpen
It means to go to that "label" alreadyopen on that web page.

It did not work.. i know i am doing something wrong. I don't quite understand
the formual...sorry
what is "#" ?
I have replaced"A1" with where the name is located on my summary page like
this:
=HYPERLINK("#"&""&H23&"!H23","click me")
is saying that name is invalid.
Thank you for your help.

If all those associate names are in one column, maybe you could just insert an
additional column with a formula in it:
=HYPERLINK("#"&"'"&A1&"'!a1","click me")
and drag down
Then if A1 contains a worksheet name, when you click on that hyperlink, off
you'll go!

I have a summary sheet which contains each associate's name grouped by the
team name. I also have different tabs seperated by team name which contains
details information of associate. I would manually look for the name and
insert a hyperlink so that if a manager clicks on the name it will take to
the detail. because associates are being added/deleted or moved to a
different team quite often, is there a way to automate this hyperlink
process? for
example:
look for a name "Sandy" in all the sheet, if found change it to hyperlink
connecting to where her detail sheet? (showing her name as a text on the
hyperlink)
Any help would greatly appreicated.
