Hi

I am looking to try and create a link to another tab in the worksheet. This tab is named in column E of my table.

What I would like is to be able to double click on any cell in a row and to be taken to the Tab named in column E for that row.
Eg. If i click anywhere on item 5 row I would like to be taken to the tab name in column E, in this case Tab3.....the data changes so static hyperlinks wont work.
thanks in advance :)

Item20.20050Subject2Tab2x0.1wrtx
Item 30.20090Subject3Tab1r0.1XX
Item411Subject4Tab1r0.1XX
Item50.20070Subject5Tab3Ps0.1XX
Item60.20Subject6Tab6Ps1xx

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Right-click on the sheet tab name at the bottom of your screen, select "View Code", and paste this code in the VB Editor window that pops up.
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
    
    Dim sh As String
    
'   Get sheet name from column E of active row
    sh = Cells(Target.Row, "E").Value
    
'   Check for value
    If sh = "" Then
        MsgBox "You have selected a row with no sheet name in column E", vbOKOnly, "ERROR!"
    Else
'       Jump to tab name in column E
        On Error GoTo err_chk
        Sheets(sh).Select
        On Error GoTo 0
    End If
    
    Exit Sub
    
err_chk:
    If Err.Number = 9 Then
        MsgBox "No sheet in workbook with name " & sh, vbOKOnly, "ERROR!"
    Else
        MsgBox Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description
    End If
    
End Sub
This should automatically do what you want as you double-click anywhere on that sheet.
