I have the following formula in a cell, sometimes my answer will be "
exception " =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(J38,'2006 Monthly Sales'!$E$2:$Q$386,10,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(J38,'2006 Monthly Sales'!$E$2:$Q$386,10,FALSE)) If the answer is "exception" I want it to automatically go to the exception worksheet - How about a hyperlink to that sheet or is there another way? thanks |

Where do you get "exception"? Is that a value returned in your VLOOKUP?
If so, then you would do something like =IF(VLOOKUP([arguments])="exception",[Do what you want to do in the exception tab],[Enter your ELSE clause here]). Hope that helps.

Dave Thanks for your prompt reply
True Brevity is the soul of wit but not today . Yes, "exception" is the value returned Not sure what I have to add to my existing formula to make it work Please clarify again thanks "Dave F" wrote: Where do you get "exception"?

Well what are you looking to do in the exception tab? That would determine
what you would enter for it. -- Brevity is the soul of wit. "Wanna Learn" wrote: Dave Thanks for your prompt reply True Brevity is the soul of wit but not today .

If the valued returned in the cell is "exception" I want it to automatically go to Cell A1! in the worksheet entitled " exceptions" thanks for your patience "Dave F" wrote: Well what are you looking to do in the exception tab?

The only thing I can think of is that you should have a macro which
automatically runs whenever the value returned from your formula is "exception," which instructs Excel to move you to cell A1 of your sheet "exception." Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that.

I'd use a second cell adjacent to the cell with the lookup formula and put a
formula like: =HYPERLINK(IF(A2=" exception ","#' exception '!A1","#"&ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN())), "Click me") Wanna Learn wrote: I have the following formula in a cell, sometimes my answer will be " exception " =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(J38,'2006 Monthly Sales'!$E$2:$Q$386,10,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(J38,'2006 Monthly Sales'!$E$2:$Q$386,10,FALSE)) If the answer is "exception" I want it to automatically go to the exception worksheet - How about a hyperlink to that sheet or is there another way? thanks -- Dave Peterson |

Thanks Dave
This will work except that I keep getting "Reference not valid" what goes in &ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN())), "Dave Peterson" wrote: I'd use a second cell adjacent to the cell with the lookup formula and put a formula like: =HYPERLINK(IF(A2=" exception ","#' exception '!A1","#"&ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN())), "Click me") Wanna Learn wrote: I have the following formula in a cell, sometimes my answer will be " exception " =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(J38,'2006 Monthly Sales'!$E$2:$Q$386,10,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(J38,'2006 Monthly Sales'!$E$2:$Q$386,10,FALSE)) If the answer is "exception" I want it to automatically go to the exception worksheet - How about a hyperlink to that sheet or is there another way? thanks -- Dave Peterson |

Nothing goes in that stuff.
The formula tells excel to jump to the exception page using that hyperlink--or jump to the same cell that contains the formula (stay put, in other words). If it didn't work, then share what you used if you changed the formula.
