[@rae_halvi6392]

You just save me a thousand years of thinking how to hide and link these sheets. Thanks a lot Sir! ❤️

[@ruwanjayasundara3113]

Dear sir , I dont know anything about programming . BUT I DID IT. Thank you very very much Sir 🙏🙏 ( Sorry for poor English)

[@TheSquirt85]

Hi, this is a great video thank you. However I keep getting an error message that says subscript out of range. I believe it has something to do with the xlsheetvisible option. Could you advise please?

[@atulbharti7880]

Thank you for Explaining the VBA code.Bcz every youtube channel just copy and paste the code.I want to understand the code that how its work. A big Thanks👍

[@gerardpaulninovergara5527]

Hi Computergaga this tutorial is perfectly fit and works for what I wanted to happen to my inventory excel.. Your the best.

[@Computergaga]

Great to hear it. Thank you.

[@cemkaya889]

Thank you so much for this awesome video. That was exactly what I was looking for! You are also talking so clearly and that means non-natives can also understand everything perfectly. (Like me 😝) Edit: Can somebody also explain how to do it if they were not cell values but TextBox values?

[@librasun1478]

Great work! I'be been scouring several excel communities for this particular project, but because VBA is completely strange to me, I was not able to come up with success story. My first impression on instructional videos is that it is a waste of time, and 95% of the time it failed to provide me solutions. This one is such a particular instance wherein I gave up chasing for answers from forumers and switch to IVs. Such a luck I clicked your video, and Tadaah! Problem solved. Your amazing! I was able to follow the instructions, and the bubble problem in my head has just been pin-bursted with your clear and concise instructions. Continue your wonderful work and a massive thank you

[@Computergaga]

You're very welcome. Thank you.

[@Computergaga]

You are most welcome

[@eastender6024]

For info. If you have a sheet tab name with a space in between, e.g. "Daily Totals" you will need to replace the space between the words with an underscore '_'. so "DAILY TOTALS" -------> "DAILY_TOTALS", this should help with some instances of the 'Subscript out of Range' error

[@moslemmir9185]

it doesn't work for me! please help me. when I click on hyper link this error appears: Run-time error '9': subscript out of range HELP?

Hi ComputerGaga, I'm getting an issue with this giving me a runtime error 9. I've got quite a few worksheets over 60 and I'm trying to use this in combination with your "Drop Down List of Hyperlinks - Excel Hyperlinks Tip" video. i'm wondering what I can do to fix this as i suspect it has something to do with the number of worksheets.

[@NWFMIS]

Hey, I just set this up and it works great, I was wondering if there was a way to search the hidden files from main sheet. Thanks for any help

[@DankDankPancake]

Very good tutorial! Out of all the videos I’ve watched yours was the only one the actually worked. However, how would I do this with a shape? I want to link shapes with text to a hidden sheet, and then hide that sheet after returning to the menu.

[@TheGingerdevil1]

I want to do this aswell, have you found out how yet?

[@classicjoka3878]

I want to know this to.

[@DankDankPancake]

@@TheGingerdevil1 No, I have not figured out how to do this yet. Instead of labeling my tabs with their actual name, I’ve just numbered them so that they all fit along the bottom without having to scroll left-or-right and linked my shapes to their appropriate tabs. You can still see them but it looks cleaner than it did before.

[@user-fy4bu5yl2h]

Hi Computergaga, thank you for the walk-through for us vba bagginers. I applied these codes on multiple sheets and they worked perfectly, however, my workbook got slower ever since I added the codes, I copy/pasted them on multiple sheets (first code for the sheets that contain the hyperlinks and the second code for the previously hidden sheets to re-hide them). I was wondering if there is a way to apply the first code on all the sheets that contain the hyperlinks to the hidden sheets without copy/pasting the code on each sheet? Same for the second code.

[@DANTENUNEZCARRO]

Thanks a lot for this information you are really fantastic to explain and share information in an easy way!

@@Computergaga I'v found your tutorial quite simple and clear, however when l follow the exact steps you did, I keep getting a message of error. I dunno if I'm missing something (which i'm sure i am) or what. so my question is: do I have to set up my excel file to certain settings before carrying out the work you did?

No specific settings required. Apart from macros enabled.

Thank you, Pankaj. Sorry, I don't use Google Sheets.

[@scottboulting881]

This works perfectly however if i also hyperlink to a file on a network drive i get an error which if debugged is because its not on the hidden sheets, can i have multiple rules?

It worked for one of my projects but what if I don't want to rename the sheets the same as the values on the cells? Can I really still pull out the sheets that I need if they have a different names?

[@arZx]

Is it possible to make the hyperlink ask for a password before it opens the sheet? Thank you, great video.

[@Computergaga]

I guess we could create this kind of effect with a userform and test their input.

Hi thank you for this!!! Big help, also can you help me?? What if i also have a hyperlink in 'Apples' that will go to another sheet (eg. 'Green Apple) but how can i hide/unhide Green Apple sheet like what i did to other sheets? What is the code on vba?? Hope you can help me. Thanks

[@dejabluek8297]

When I am in the VBA window, I click on the Sheet and both dropdowns do not have anything else listed. (General) does not have Worksheet, same as (Declarations) . How do I get those dropdowns to show?

[@Computergaga]

Try double clicking on the Sheet tab. At the top of the window on the title bar it will say if you are in a Module or a Sheet code window. You need to be in that sheet to see the drop downs.

[@janslootweg5620]

I don't have hyperlinks, but macro's to open the sheets. When i hide the sheets then the sheet will not open after running the macro. Can you help me.

[@autumnalfoliage]

Thanks for the tutorial. I followed along but am still getting an error for tabs that aren't named the same as the cell. My text does not match the name on the tab as it does not allow the same amount of characters that I can type into a cell. For example, for Academic Support Compensation Procedures I can only put at most "Academic Support Compensation P" as the tab name. If you change the text on the Main tab from "Apples" to "Apples Form", and the Apples tab remains named "Apples", will it still link you to the Apples tab? I see it worked for you, but you didn't change the text in the cell or the name on the tab.

[@estefaniabarboza1243]

When I tried to use the when where the names do not match, it showed an error. Clicked to "debug" and it highlighted in yellow the "Sheets(shtName).Visible = xlSheetVisible"

[@shechild22]

It did the same for me but my sheets have the same names. Did you find out what the problem was? I was able to fix mine by changing/shortening the names of my sheets.

It shows Sheet1 then followed by Sheet10-19 the Sheet 2-9. May be this is the issue because it should be sheets 1-19 but I couldn't or don't know how to sort if from sheet 1-19

Good day Sir. My name is Donald from South Africa I have been following your Excel teachings thank you so much for the knowledge you are sharing with us. I have a bit of a problem with the spreadsheet I am working on currently The hyperlinks wouldn't work to the hidden sheet I don't know if maybe the problem is that the name on the link isn't the same as the sheet name Can I please send you my spreadsheet and help me with it

[@Computergaga]

Have you tried the technique in the video? The display text of the hyperlink is not a problem, but the link path must be accurate. You cannot link to a hidden sheet in Excel. So, this video shows a workaround.

[@donaldlehwidi3944]

I did try but still is not working I don't know what might be the reason

Why if i save it, and open it again, the formula has been lost? Any suggest?

[@matierk]

Thanks for this tutorial, what if i have a shape link to a sheet and i want to hide that sheet . Any help . Thanks

[@Computergaga]

I think it works the same way. A link won't work to a hidden sheet, so VBA is used to unhide the sheet.

Hi Can someone help me here. When i am running the command I am getting run time error 9 and the error is highlighted here. Sheets(shtname).Visible = xlSheetVisible

[@InsideMyWall]

When I am sharing my sheet on a shared drive in office using hyperlink function (not onedrive or 365), my colleague is unable to open the links done. Any help???

I'm not sure. I would check the path of the links and their destination. Whether the colleague has access to the destination, and if the path is different for them.

[@zvikomutsindiri3592]

I have multiple pages running and when I keep pressing my links even, I end up getting a runtime error 9 out of range notification.

[@bobjones2201]

When using a hyperlink formula, how can I link to hidden tab? I use the “#’” along with Vlookup and “‘!A1” to create hyperlink which works on unhidden tab, but once hidden I cannot get it to work. Any ideas?

[@Computergaga]

The worksheet needs to be unhidden, so I used VBA in this tutorial.

[@bobjones2201]

I appreciate the fast response! My issue is that in using a hyperlink formula with vlookup I cannot get the VBA to unhide the tab. The VBA works with a hyperlink created manually but not with my formula. Thanks!

[@bobjones2201]

One further piece of info that may be important, the displayed text in the cell without the formula appears to match the hidden tab name, but I cannot get it to unhide with either method. I assume it may need a variation in the VBA for hyperlinks created by a formula
