trying to get a hyperlink to go to designated errors (column where "X"
appears if there is an error). using the last 2 items, it works as a worker
cell & hyperlink refering to it.

trying to get this to work, (trying to combine the bottom 2 items), get "too
few arguments". (note: to work, W14 is "column you want link to go to, & 14
is the line that formula is currently in). thanks.

=HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",OFFSET(SUBSTITUTE(SU BSTITUTE(CELL("address",W14),"$",""),ROW(),"")&MAT CH("X",$AU$1:$AU$1097,0),0,0)),"x") trying

these work separately
=HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",OFFSET(INDIRECT($CH$ 14),0,0)),"x") works
=IF(ISNA(MATCH("X",$AU$1:$AU$1097,0)),"",SUBSTITUT E(SUBSTITUTE(CELL("address",W14),"$",""),ROW(),"") &MATCH("X",$AU$1:$AU$1097,0)) works

The MATCH function returns the first occurrence of a value so if the data was
in A1:A200 and the first occurence of "X" was in row 55, MATCH returns 55. I
am assuming we are comparing a cell value and not part of a string.

=MATCH("X",A1:A200,0)

Is this what you require?

was wondering if it is possible to have a formula tell you the next line
number / the first occurance of a letter, "x", in one column? thanks
