Hi Everyone,

I have no VBA knowledge and I am in need of a lot of help. I will try to explain my scenario as clearly as possible.

Scenario:
I have 1 workbook with 6 worksheets:

  • Worksheet 1 name is Overview
  • The Overview will list a bunch of goals in Columns D, E, and F. I would like the cells in these columns to be clickable.
  • Worksheet 2-6 are named Workforce, Access, Affordability, Quality, and Infrastructure)
  • These 5 sheets contain lists of projects that relate to the goals in the Overview sheet.
Objective:
The Overview sheet is meant for the front end user. Ideally, when someone clicks on a cell in the Overview sheet looking into a specific goal, it would jump the user to one of the other 5 worksheets and automatically filter the data to list all the projects that relate to that goal.

Note: One project can relate to multiple goals on the Overview sheet. Because the projects can relate to multiple goals, column A in the 5 other sheets are coded to list which goal they relate to. For example, lets say I attribute the code G1 to Goal 1 and G2 to Goal 2 in the Overview sheet. In the Workforce sheet a project that applies to both these goals would have the text “G1, G2” in the cell.

Ideally, the filter would look only in column A of the other worksheets and use the “Contains…” text filter criteria to search for the code and filter by that. So when someone double clicks on Goal 2 in the Overview sheet, it will jump them to the Workforce sheet and filter out all rows that have the code G2 in column A. In another scenario, someone may double click on Goal 6 and it will jump them to the Access sheet and filter out all rows that have the G6 code in column A.

Can this be done? Can you help me?

Thank you for any insight and help that the community can provide.

-Regards, Pam
