Hi all,

I suck at using indirect formulas...trying to combine indirect and hyperlink

for example

Cell a11 = Regional_Market_Performance

so in cell i2 i have this formula...it works, perfect

=HYPERLINK("#'Regional_Market_Performance'!A1",A11)

so instead i tried this in cell i2

=HYPERLINK(INDIRECT(A11&"!A4"),A11)

but when i click the link i get an error "Cannot open the spcified file"

Any help would be grand!

Thanks,

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
INDIRECT requires the value in the cell referenced to provide the reference of what INDIRECT returns. I think what you want to have is something like this:

=HYPERLINK("#'" & A11 & "'!A4", A11)

Hope that helps!
