Linking between sheets on same spreadsheet
I am trying to create a database of various names. I have a pull down
button where I can select these names from using: =MANUFACTURER_Index! $A$4 where MANUFACTURER_Index is the name of one of my sheets. When I select a name inthe pull down window, contact info from that supplier appears in dedicated cells. One of the dedicated cells is reserved for the company's url. I have tried to add a hyperlink to this cell, but this is not what I want. I am trying to get a hyperlink to the content of this cell instead of teh actual cell. I am not sure if I am clear enough. Basically when I select a different supplier from teh pull down button, the contact info in preselected cells also changed. The contact info is stored on a second sheet that I am trying to represent on the main sheet. For example Cell A1 on main page, let me call it: Supplier, is the pull down button. Cell A2 shows the content of A2 on second sheet entitled 'contact info'. The url appears, but there is no link. However, when I add a hyperlink to cell A2 on the supplier page to the url of that supplier, I am okay. When I select another supplier from the pulldown button and a new supplier appears, the url for this new supplier also appears, but the hyperlink stays at the one I initially installed, because it is the cell that has been hyperlinked. What I need to happen is that when a new url appears, the link would be directed to the new url...how do I do this? Thanx in advance. |

Hi Erwin. If I'm understanding you correctly, here's what you do. Go to the
cell you were trying to put the hyperlink in. Press the = sign then go to the sheet and cell with the results you want the user to see. Click that cell and press enter. As long as that cell shows the result you want viewed, that is what you will see in the other. " wrote: I am trying to create a database of various names.
