How to click a cell with mouse and have a different tab appear
 

I was wondering if there is a way where I can click say cell A1 which
currently has the text 'Tuesday' in it. By clicking on this cell, the user
is directed to a new tab (which the user has labelled as Tuesday).

My knowledge is somewhat limited. I know I can run a macro and then press
<CTRL and the short cut key, but I was hoping to be able to just use the
mouse and click on the cell to direct me to the new tab.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "A1" '<== change to suit
Dim sh As Worksheet

If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target

On Error Resume Next
If Not Me.Parent.Worksheets(.Value) Is Nothing Then

Me.Parent.Worksheets(.Value).Activate
End If
End With
End If

End Sub

'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.

I would be inclined to use double click. It is hard to accidentally double
click a cell. Here is some code for you. Right click the sheet tab you want
this to work in and select View Code. Paste the following...
It works on double clicking cells A1 or A2 and takes you to the sheet named
in the cell.

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As
Boolean)
Dim wks As Worksheet

If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A1:A2")) Is Nothing Then
Cancel = True
On Error Resume Next
Set wks = Sheets(Target.Value)
On Error GoTo 0
If wks Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Sheet " & Target.Value & " does not exist."
Else
wks.Select
End If
End If
End Sub

Doubleclick event code could work.

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick( _
ByVal Target As Excel.Range, Cancel As Boolean)
'Substitute your cells/sheetnames
Select Case Target.Address(False, False)
Case "A1"
Sheets(Target.Value).Select
Case "A2"
Sheets(Target.Value).Select
Case "A3"
Sheets(Target.Value).Select
End Select
Cancel = True
End Sub

This is sheet event code. Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code".

Copy/paste into that sheet module.
