Hi,

I have many worksheets within the same file, what I really want is to have either a (link / go to option) from sheet1 to other sheets without using hyperlink because I want to send to others.

Example: if I click on Apple from Sheet 1, I will go to Sheet2

Sheet1 Sheet2 Sheet3 Sheet4
Apple Apple Banana Orange
Banana
Orange


Thanks for your help,
Tuong

I don't really think there is such a function, but I could be wrong
:confused:

If I follow what you want, you want to use Sheet1 as a sort of table of contents where you can select an item and go to a sheet with more info. If that's the case, then why not name each sheet and the user can just click on the sheet tab?

And what does sending the sheet to others have to do wioth not using hyperlinks. If you are linking to areas within the same workbook that shouldn't matter.

You can, using VBA, set up a button that would find and got to another cell that has the same contents as the currently highlighted cell.

Thanks for your reply,

Post a sample of the spreadsheet, you will have to zip it. If it is too big, use save as and delete a load of sheets (leave enough for us to work with)

I'm not that good on Excel VBA, but the code would look something like this:

Application.Goto Reference:=Worksheets("ActiveCell.Value").Range("A1"), _
Scroll:=True

That will go to the first cell of the sheer named in the currently selected cell.

Is this what you require? Seems to me that it is just as easy to click on the tabs (unless you have lots & lots & lots... & lots of tabs)

I'm not sure, but this *might* work.

U know how u can convert spreadsheets to web pages?

Well u can convert them to webpages and like add links to differnet pages, but that would mean u can't edit them, or can you...

*twillight zone music*

Hehehe

I agree with Colbtech that it would be easier to just use named tabs. However, to modify his code, you can do this with ONE generic button and the text in cells.

Use:
Sheets(ActiveCell.Value).Select

As long as the highlighted cell contains the name of an existing worksheet it will work.

Cheech, how can I convert spreadsheets to web pages?
Colbtech, I have a lot of tabs.
Scott, do I use this code in Excel VBA?: Sheets(ActiveCell.Value).Select

Thanks for your helps.

You can export worksheets to HTML. But that doesn't really give you want you want. I really don't think that was good advice. It wasn't technically incorrect, but I don't feel it was applicable to your needs.

Yes, you would create one button and put that one line of code behind the button. The user then selects a cell, presses the button and it goes to that sheet.

Thank you for your help guys, now I am becoming an Excel expert :D

Actually I think the best way for you to go is to create a user form with buttons for all of your tabs. Name the buttons the same name as your tabs. For each click for each btn the code would be: [sheet].activate

This will bring that particular sheet to the front.

This is similar to a solution suggested a couple of months ago. But what advantage does that have over just selecting the worksheet tab?

I myself am working on a workbook that has 36 tabs. There is no way, that I am aware of, to cascade the tabs so that all are visible. If I opened my work book and needed to add to a sheet named December Closed Files 2006 (and there's January - December 2006 Case Table Tabs and January - December 2006 Open Files Tabs; totaling 36 tabs), it would be much easier to be able to click a button that takes me there from a user friendly form rather than scrolling through the tabs.

OK, that makes sense IF you have more tabs then can appear without scrolling. Of course, at that point, it might be better to move the data into a database.

This is true, but awfully troublesome and time consuming. Those small businesses mostly don't have the time or money for a project of this level. I assume if they did, Excel wouldn't have been their initial solution and a specific practice oriented database or a general database such as Access or Oracle would have been chosen and support outsourced.

I disagree. Access can be used on a number of different levels. A simple Access database can be setup in a matter of hours.

Tuong, the best is to write macro... Joy

Guys, the best is to write a macro... macro within excel, works really well

Tuong, the best is to write macro....Joy

First, this thread is several months old. Second, a macro was not necessary.

Macro's were the suggestion. See the above posts.
