The "#" is required:

It's one of those HTML thingies. It means sub-address (as far as I know!).

If you look at web pages, you'll see that this takes you to the page:

But this takes you to a sub-address within that page:

In cell D4, I have:

=MATCH(C4&"*",'Alph. by State'!A1:A1083,0)

I wish to create a hyperlink to sheet entitled "Alph. by State"...I
changed
the name of Sheet1 to "Alph. by State".

In cell E4, I have:

=HYPERLINK("#sheet1!A"&D4,"GO TO")

The hyperlink worked fine until I renamed sheet1 to "Alph. by State".

I cannot seem to fix my cell E4..I get error message,
"reference not valid".

PLEASE HELP.

Thanks,
