Create a hyperlink to a sheet with same name as the value in the selected cell in Excel through VBA

0 votes

I want the code to first determine whether a single cell is selected on the sheet I'm in, and then it should determine whether another sheet in the Workbook contains a value that matches the value in the selected cell.

I'm trying to make a hyperlink in the selected cell that refers to the sheet with the same name/value if these criteria are satisfied.

For instance, I want the code to generate a hyperlink in cell A1 to the sheet named "1000" if I select a cell (A1) with the value "1000" and there is a sheet named "1000".

selectedCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=selectedCell, Address:="", SubAddress:=selectedCell.Value & "!", TextToDisplay:=selectedCell.Value
Sub CreateHyperlinkToSheet()
    Dim selectedCell As Range
    Set selectedCell = Selection

    If selectedCell.Count <> 1 Then
        MsgBox "Please select a single cell.", vbExclamation
        Exit Sub
    End If

    If Not SheetExists(selectedCell.Value) Then
        MsgBox "No sheet exists with the name '" & selectedCell.Value & "'.", vbExclamation
        Exit Sub
    End If

    selectedCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=selectedCell, Address:="", SubAddress:=selectedCell.Value & "!", TextToDisplay:=selectedCell.Value
End Sub

Function SheetExists(sheetName As String) As Boolean
    On Error Resume Next
    SheetExists = (Len(Sheets(sheetName).Name) > 0)
    On Error GoTo 0
End Function

Credit to Spectral Instance who found the solution and wrote it in the comments;

selectedCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=selectedCell, Address:="#'" & selectedCell.Value & "'!A1", TextToDisplay:="" & selectedCell.Value & ""

The error message was due to the value of the cell beeing a number. In this case the cell A1 had the value of 1000.
