Workbook/Sheet Hyperlinking & alternatives
 
Mkalsem had a main workbook and 3 “sub” workbooks. He wanted to be able to click in a cell and have that command take him to a specific page in a different workbook. He was having trouble getting the hyperlinks to work.
 
Chris Davison suggested taking a picture of the destination location via the camera utility then paste this into your main workbook.

When you double click the image, it will hyperlink you to the source

To set up the Camera utility, try the following:

View
Toolbars
Customise
Commands
Tools..........
 
Scroll down the tools options and click the Camera icon and drag it to your toolbar, you should now have a camera sitting on your toolbar.

To use it, highlight your cells in question and click the Camera, this will take a snapshot of those cells (Dave Hawley pointed out that you can also get a 'picture' of your cells by selecting them, hold down the Shift key and going to Edit>Copy Picture)  - now go to where you want to show them as an image, paste and resize the image to suit.

NB - If your source cells change, the image will also change, similar to a linked cell.
 
royUK explained that you can set up hyperlinks to a sheet or named range in a workbook or another workbook by using the Insert>Hyperlink method.
