I have a spreadsheet with multiple tabs.
I am using one tab 'Integration Details' as an at a glance for source information.
I am using multiple other tabs, all split by date, to show sessions on those dates will more information including invitees.

I want to be able to click on a 'Session Name' within the 'Integration Details' Tab and be taken to that session in the relevant dated tab (I have managed to get this working via a Hyperlink)
However, when I Cut and Paste that session to another tab (Date/Time of the Session has changed) the Hyperlink still reverts to the original place.

All suggestions on how to fix this welcome!
Additional note, I am not great at using VBA, and already have a script running for a completely different issue, so if VBA is the only answer, please can someone explain how I have multiple VBAs running in one workbook?

Who is Mr Spreadsheet?
Author John Walkenbach was Mr Spreadsheet until his retirement in June 2019.
This is the method I use. It doesn't quite fix the problem but it makes maintenance a lot easier.
First set up a 'Link references' tab - it can be hidden later if you don't want it visible. It has two columns - a link column containing a reference to where you're session details are (tab and cell) and some 'friendly' link text.

2#'2024-07-09'!A12024-07-09 Session 1
3#'2024-07-09'!A302024-07-09 Session 2
4#'2024-07-16'!A12024-07-16 Session 1
5#'2024-07-16'!A302024-07-16 Session 2
Link references


Then on the 'Integration details' tab add a series of =HYPERLINK formulas that point to cells on the link references page. Then if you move some session data on a date tab to somewhere else, all you have to do is update the reference on the 'Link references' tab.

Thanks Murray,

I don't think this would offer me much benefit on this occasion, as the Integration Tab has the link / friendly text as well as the date/time of the meeting, so if a meeting moves, it would be updated there first and as I move the session Id update the link as part of that one process.

I was just hoping there would be a way to avoid the need to manually change the Hyperlink :D

Here is a screenshot of the Integration Tab;

Here is a screenshot of the Dated Tab;

I have hyperlinked C9 On the Int Tab to A4 on the Dated Tab

But if that entire section, A4-A30 ends up moving to another tab, I have to manually change the Hyperlink

Hope this makes sense
