Hi everyone! I am trying to create a macro that filters a sheet based on a certain value, then select a cell that contains a hyperlink and click on that hyperlink that leads to another sheet. I've already managed to achieve the first part but the hyperlink part isn't working, does anyone know how it could be done? Under these lines I'll copy the code I currently have and color the part that I have issues with. Thank you in advance.

Rich (BB code):
Sub FilterBasedOnCellValueAnotherSheet()
    Dim category As Range
    Dim LR As Long
    With Worksheets("Result")
        Set category = .Range("B3")
    End With
    With Worksheets("Summary")
        With .Range("B3:M300")
            .AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=category, VisibleDropDown:=True
        End With
    LR = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    Range("L3:L" & LR).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Select
    Selection.Hyperlinks(1).Follow NewWindow:=False, AddHistory:=True
    End With
   
   
End Sub

Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
The following code line selects one or more visible cells starting from the 3rd row. So, it will always follow the hyperlink address of the cell on the first visible (filtered) row (if there is a hyperlink in that cell).

VBA Code:
Range("L3:L" & LR).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Select

Do you get an error on the indicated code line OR is it just following the wrong hyperlink? What is the exact issue?
When there are multiple rows filtered by the selected category, which row you'd like to use with the Follow method? The first one, the last one?

Hi, it's not following the link, the sheet the link leads to doesn't activate. Only one row is selected when the macro runs, so only one link has to be followed.

I am able to use the code and it does exactly what it is supposed to do - activates the worksheet that the hyperlink leads to.

Can you check the hyperlink of that single cell to make sure that it is not leading to the same worksheet with the data (since there is no error as I can understand)? This is the only thing I can think of. I built the exact structure with Result and Summary worksheets, and also a couple of other sheets as the targets of hyperlinks. Then I created the hyperlinks by selecting the A1 cell of each target worksheet, and it works without problem.

It still won't work, it may be a problem with my Excel, I'll make sure to check it out, thank you!
