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' works
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 =INDIRECT(double-quote single-quote double-quote & A2 & double-quote single-quote double-quote ! A1 ) "Paul Condron" wrote in message ... Bob, Many thanks but I can't get this to work.

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 =INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!A1") -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from email address if mailing direct) "Paul Condron" wrote in message ... Chip, Thanks.
