Hyperlink() problems

J

John Smith

The =hyperlink() function is not working for me. I have Office 200
English version. In Excel I tried:

=Hyperlink(“HD!A1”,HD!A1)

The reference text on sheet HD cell A1 is shown as the hyperlink ok
But when trying jumping with the link to Sheet HD I am getting th
error message:

Cannot open the specified file

The hyperlinks made by object hyperlink is working ok. Also I trie
making a hyperlink like:

=hyperlink(“http://www.microsoft.com”,”test”) this is also jumping fin
to the MS homepage.

It seems I have some problems jumping inside the same document. Ca
there bee some setting in Excel that is preventing me form jumpin
inside the same file.
Please help

Is it possible to copy this formula to other cells using Autofill and has the
cell references be relative?

Hi Mary,
Yes, you have to get the part that changes out of the quotes.
=HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",HD!A1),HD!A1)
if you had spaces in the worksheetname, which you can see the formula
change if you renamed the worksheet, something you would not see happen
if everything were within double quotes.
=HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",'HD One'!A1),'HD One'!A1)
