708271 2008-09-28 00:34:00 Hello,

I am working on an excel spreadsheet and am wanting to create hyperlinks based on the text, not on cell reference because I need to sort. I have a formula that works but the problem is with earlier versions of excel it does not work since it referenced .xlsx. I will need to have this formula conversion happy.

The formula is:
=HYPERLINK("[Book1.xlsx]Sheet2!" & ADDRESS(MATCH("A",Sheet2!A1:A100,FALSE),1),"Link To A")

It was taken from a previous feed to link one spreadsheet to the next based on matching.

Any suggestions on a different formula I may be able to use.

Thanks!

So it does not work on 2007 xlsx files?
There are no differences in the formula that I can see.
Your formula looks fine from here, hope the data matches, this could be causing the issue (of...?).
Have you got the SAME options/settings in effect for 2007 as you had for 2003?
If you save as xls in 2007 will it work?
