link a cell in the 'Master' worksheet list to a 'Detail' worksheet
 

I have a 'Master' worksheet containing a list of the other worksheets in this
workbook. The list will be added to regularly. I want to create a macro that
when run will take the worksheet name that is highlighted in the 'master'
list and GoTo cell A1 on the related 'Detail' sheet.
Any help would be much appreciated.

link a cell in the 'Master' worksheet list to a 'Detail' worksheet
 

=INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!A1)

where A2 holds the sheet name

Bob,

Many thanks but I can't get this to work. I have played around with the " '
and ( ) but I can't seem to get the logic right. I also tried to insert a ,
before A1 but that didn't seem to help either. I'm probably doing something
stupid!

Paul,

The syntax is

Chip,

Thanks. I followed this exactly - I think but it still tells me I have an
error. The particular worksheet I tried it on is labelled - Accel_Lifts -
and so I got:

=INDIRECT("'"&Accel_Lifts&"'"!A1)

But it comes up as a syntax error!

I omitted the trailing quote. You don't need to substitute the cell value,
Excel will do that, so use

Bob,
thanks again but I obviously haven't explained my problem correctly and what
you sent me won't work. I'll try again because this is really getting to me
(and hope you still have the patience to reply!!)!!

On Worksheet 1 - my 'Master' or 'Front-end' WS, I have a listing of the
companies whose details will be shown on other Worksheets within this
Workbook. This list has 4 columns and I want one specific one of these to be
a link to its associated Worksheet so that when I reference this cell in a
GoTo macro, it will go to cell A1 of that particular Worksheet. I'm assuming
that if the macro is created as 'relative' that it will take me to the sheet
that relates to the list entry being highlighted on the 'Master' WS.
The list on the Master WS will be expanded as time goes on and so this
automatic link to the associated detail sheet is a key part to making it work.
Once again, my thanks for any help I get.

Paul,

Maybe you need an event macro that works upon selecting a cell with a sheet
name in it. I have used columns C:F for those names, you can change to suit.

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.


Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "C:F"
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Value < "" Then
Worksheets(Tragte.Value).Activate
ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select
End If
End If
End Sub

Paul,

Maybe you need an event macro that works upon selecting a cell with a
sheet
name in it. I have used columns C:F for those names, you can change to
suit.

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.


Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "C:F"
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Value < "" Then
Worksheets(Tragte.Value).Activate
ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select
End If
End If
End Sub

Bob,
thanks again but I obviously haven't explained my problem correctly
and
what
you sent me won't work. I'll try again because this is really getting
to
me
(and hope you still have the patience to reply!!)!!

On Worksheet 1 - my 'Master' or 'Front-end' WS, I have a listing of
the
companies whose details will be shown on other Worksheets within this
Workbook. This list has 4 columns and I want one specific one of
these
to
be
a link to its associated Worksheet so that when I reference this cell
in
a
GoTo macro, it will go to cell A1 of that particular Worksheet. I'm
assuming
that if the macro is created as 'relative' that it will take me to
the
sheet
that relates to the list entry being highlighted on the 'Master' WS.
The list on the Master WS will be expanded as time goes on and so
this
automatic link to the associated detail sheet is a key part to making
it
work.
Once again, my thanks for any help I get.
Paul

I omitted the trailing quote. You don't need to substitute the cell
value,
Excel will do that, so use

=INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!A1")

Chip,

Thanks. I followed this exactly - I think but it still tells me I
have
an
error. The particular worksheet I tried it on is labelled -
Accel_Lifts -
and so I got:

=INDIRECT("'"&Accel_Lifts&"'"!A1)

But it comes up as a syntax error!

Paul,

The syntax is

=INDIRECT(double-quote single-quote double-quote & A2 &
double-quote single-quote double-quote ! A1 )

Bob,

Many thanks but I can't get this to work. I have played
around
with the " '
and ( ) but I can't seem to get the logic right. I also tried
to insert a ,
before A1 but that didn't seem to help either. I'm probably
doing something
stupid!
Regards
Paul

I have a 'Master' worksheet containing a list of the other
worksheets in
this
workbook. The list will be added to regularly. I want to
create a macro
that
when run will take the worksheet name that is highlighted
in
the 'master'
list and GoTo cell A1 on the related 'Detail' sheet.
Any help would be much appreciated.
