Default 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.

Default Hyperlinking Cells

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.

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.

Default Hyperlinking Cells

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.
