At a guess I would say that you have omitted the # from the sheetname
if it is in the same workbook, and so the formula is trying to open a file with the name of the worksheet you are trying to jump to. Can you post your formula here and we'll be able to comment more accurately? Pete |

Share what you used for the hyperlink and how you created it (Insert|Hyperlink
or =hyperlink()). Karenatallied wrote: i am getting an error when trying to hyperlink from one page in a workbook to another page in the same workbook. the error simply states that "cannot open the specified file" is there a way to fix this??? -- Dave Peterson |

is there a problem with hyperlink in excel 2003
Hi Guys,
the scenario is as follows: i am trying to link from a "Table of Contents" sheet to cell "A1" in a sheet named "YTD Income Summary - ANY" and naming the link cell "New York Only". Both the "Table of Contents" sheet and the "YTD Income Summary - ANY" sheet are in the same workbook named "New York". I used the HYPERLINK function shown below: =HYPERLINK('YTD Income-Summary - ANY'!A1,"New York Only") and also tried manually editing the formula as follows: =HYPERLINK("[new york]'YTD Income-Summary - Cons'!A1","Consolidated") where the sheet being linked to is "YTD Income-Summary - Cons", the link cell is named "Consolidated" on the "Table of Contents" sheet and the workbook containing both sheets is named "New York" I get the same error message in both situations. any insight would be appreciated... Thanks :) |

I've been trying to work these suggestions into my formula but i'm not sure
if i am understanding what each argument means to enter it properly. =HYPERLINK - i understand is the formula ("#"&CELL - does this represent something else other than what it is... meaning do i type this in as is or am i supposed to replace it with an actual cell reference? ("address",sheetone!C5), - i took this to mean the actual path to the worksheet and cell i'm trying to link to.. whe ("address", - means the workbook the sheets are located in sheetone!C5), - means the sheet name and cell reference perhaps this is where my mistake is? sheetone!C5) - being the text in the linked to worksheet/cell being used as a name for the hyperlink so this what i came up with.... but i get a #VALUE! error =HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("New York",'YTD Income-Summary - Cons'!A1),"Consolidated") where "New York" is the workbook both sheets are in where 'YTD Income-Summary - Cons' is the worksheet i would like to link to where !A1 is the cell i would like to link to where "Consolidated" is the name i would like to name the link on the link from worksheet can you tell what it is i'm doing wrong? thanks.

=HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",'YTD Income Summary - ANY'!A1),"ClickMe")
should go to A1 of 'YTD Income Summary - ANY' (And you said that this is all internal to the workbook--so that name isn't important.)

i copied and pasted your formula below into my worksheet and now when i hit
enter to accept it, it opens a "open" dialog box. if i click on the folders to find the workbook again, it causes excel to shut down. just a note, i am running F9 on this machine, would that interfere at all with this???

I have no idea what F9 is.
Try changing (temporarily) the name of worksheet "ytd income summary - any" to A (just a single letter). Then use this: =HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",a!A1),"ClickMe") Then rename the sheet to what you want. There's a difference between what you wrote in your message and what that worksheet is called in real life.

I did as you suggested and voila, it worked. i was able to rename the
worksheet back to it's original name and it still works. thanks so much for your time and help in getting this to work for me!!! i truly appreciate it. btw, F9 is a program that works to import our accounting software information (GL balances and such) into excel worksheets to be calculated and further manipulated.
