Hyperlinking Cells
Hello,
I am hyperlinking text boxes in one sheet to certain cells in another sheet of the same workbook. However, when I add a row before the cells, the text boxes' hyperlinks do not shift down one letter but rather remain unchanged. For example, I have a text box link to D9, and I insert a row between rows B and C, which would make the cell I'm interested in to switch from D9 to E9. However, the link remains to link to D9. How can I fix this? Thanks. |

Maybe its how you are setting the link. Put a Textbox in the sheet and click
on it to make it Selected. Then click in the formula bar and enter: =D9 and then click elsewhere. The contents of D9 should appear in the Textbox. If you insert rows above D9 or columns to the left of D9 the formula will adjust. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200796 "BryanC" wrote: Hello, I am hyperlinking text boxes in one sheet to certain cells in another sheet of the same workbook.

Your method makes the textbox contents accurate -- which is good. However, I
would also like the hyperlink to update itself as well if there are rows inserted or deleted before it. "Gary''s Student" wrote: Maybe its how you are setting the link.

Bryan, your situation can be fixed using Data Range Names (even for a single
cell that you are linking to). Once you create a data range name, and link to that name, you will be good to go, no matter if you add text boxes, insert rows or columns.
