I have a mult-sheet workbook and am trying to make a drop-down menu to
navigate to different sheets.

I made a column with names of each sheet and in each cell i put a
hyperlink to that sheet. I was hoping that when I made that into a
drop-down it would activate the hyperlink, no such luck.

Has anyone made something similar that works?

Thanks

Say in cell A1 we have a Data Validation dropdown that allows the user to
pick from:

Sheet1
Sheet2
Sheet3
etc.

In B1 enter:

=HYPERLINK("#"&A1&"!A1",A1)

This makes a nice, "clickable" link in B1 to any sheet in the workbook.

Thanks, that was great. For some reason (maybe because I am using 2007) it
never showed up floating, it was part of the Add-In Ribbon. I was able to
move it to the Quick Access Toolbar but it does not float. Still in all very
cool thanks!

Floating toolbars died with xl2007.

If you want to take the time to translate, er, bring the code up to date for
xl2007...

If you want to learn about modifying the ribbon, you can start at Ron de Bruin's
site:

addin)
or
