Problems with If function
I have successfully used the following to create a dynamic link:
=HYPERLINK(INDIRECT("'" & $A$12 & "'" & "!" & "A2")) The problem is that if there is no value in the cell referenced for the dynamic link, it returns that annoying #ref! So, I thought I would be smart, and change it to: =IF(A12="","",HYPERLINK(INDIRECT("'" & $A$12 & "'" & "!" & "A2"))) This got of the #ref!, sure enough, but now, gives an error and says that the reference is invalid. Thoughts? |

Problems with If function
Linck Schlich was thinking very hard :

Thoughts? Try checking the INDIRECT function with ISERROR()... =IF(ISERROR(INDIRECT("'"&$A$12&"'!A2")),"",HYPERLI NK(INDIRECT("'"&$A$12&"'!A2"))) -- Garry Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc |
