Excel hyperlink and vlookup

Question

I need help getting a formula to work please. I have found multiple examples but cannot for the life of me get them to work. I need to have Excel take a value "name123" located in Worksheet "Maint" cell A2 and search Worksheet "Tracking" Column A for that exact match and have that name "name123" in the Maint worksheet a hyperlink that takes me to that exact match in the Tracking worksheet. The data is in column A on both worksheets. I am dealing with a very large dataset so searching for each value would be impractical.

This is what I have so far... Please tell me what is wrong with it! =HYPERLINK(VLOOKUP(A2,Tracking!A:A,1,FALSE),A2)

Thank you guys in advance for your help!!!

Answer 1

Try in sheet Maint

=HYPERLINK(CELL("ADDRESS",INDEX(Tracking!A:A,MATCH(A2,Tracking!A:A,0))),A2)

Sheet Maint

Sheet Tracking

Note:

Reduce this Tracking!A:A to a shorter range if possible. Just the rows containing data in that sheet in column A which you want to match against.
