This should be incredibly simple, but I've spent way too much time googling and can't find the answer. (And now I'm struggling to explain.)

I have a workbook with a number of sheets. The first column of each sheet is always the employee ID.

The first sheet of the workbook (Lookup) has a validation list of staff names. When a staff name is selected, the rows below pull the data for that staff member from each of the sheets. e.g.
Column ABC
Row 1Staff nameJoe SmithClick to Update
2ID2
3Sheet1Hyperlink(Sheet1, Column A, Row "B2")
4RoleTest consultant
5Start Date1/1/2020
6Sheet2Hyperlink(Sheet2, Column A, Row "B2")
7QualBachelor
8DisciplineScience

I would like to create a hyperlink, that goes the referenced sheet, and the row for the referenced staff member. The logic I need is "Go to [named sheet]. In column A, look up the value in Lookup!Cell B2, and go to that row."

Using Match, I can look up the row that Staff ID is on for each sheet, but I can't work out how to put that into a hyperlink.
 

Excel Facts

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
I worked it out. Finally.
I realised that NO hyperlink functions were working at all. It wasn't necessarily that my formula was broken. That changed what I was Googling answers for!
The key was to put a "#"at the front of my address.
=HYPERLINK("#"&D5&"!"&E5&F5,"Click to update this information")
D5 = sheet name
E5 = column letter
F5 = match formula giving me the row number for the specific Staff ID.
