Excel Tip Using hyperlinks to link to next sheet
Although we've often discussed how to use hyperlinks in Word and PowerPoint documents, we haven't discussed hyperlinks in Excel worksheets.
Let's say you're working with a large workbook--one that contains multiple sheets. When you go through the workbook, you may want to make your way to the final sum on the first worksheet and then go to the next worksheet. In this case, why not use a hyperlink to take you to the next sheet?
Click the cell that contains that last sum and choose Insert, Hyperlink. When the Insert Hyperlink dialog box opens, click the Bookmark button. Select Sheet2 (under the Cell Reference title) and click OK. Back in the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, click OK to close the dialog box and save your selection. All you have to do now is click the last sum cell to move to the next sheet.
Suppose that now you'd like to go from that last sum cell to a specific cell in Sheet2. To do this, you'll have to name the target cell in Sheet2. Go to Sheet2 and click the target cell. Choose Insert, Name, Define. When the Define Name dialog box opens, type in a name and click OK.
Now, go back to that last sum cell in Sheet1. Click the cell and choose Insert, Hyperlink. When the Insert Hyperlink dialog box opens, click the Bookmark button. Now, in the Select Place in Document dialog box, you will see your target cell's name (under the Defined Names title). Select it and click OK. Click OK back in Insert Hyperlink to close the dialog box and save your changes.
When you click the hyperlink now, Excel will take you directly to the target cell in Sheet2.
