Hi,
I have created a spreadsheet with a list of businesses. I want to be able to click on the name one of the businesses and it bring up another sheet with their contact details, size of company, number of stores and addresses etc (all the information I will source and input).
How can I do this please? I was looking at pivot tables but that seems to be just to compare different data etc. I dont want to compare any data, just be able to open and close each one so there isnt a huge amount of data just on the initial spreadsheet.
Thanks
Clare

Dear Clare,
Thank you for your question in our forum. My name is Ron and I am part of STL's training team.
To be able to click a business name in your list to then make the details for the company come up in another sheet you will need to program that yourself i.e. create a macro.
Macros involve programming business processes with Visual Basic for Applications which is a whole new realm of learning.
What you could possibly do instead is create a named range for each business' details and then create a hyperlink to the named range from your main list. Depending on the size of the list of businesses this could be a lengthy process.
There are no other built in tools in Excel that will give you 'Click Access'
I am sorry to disappoint you but at least you know that now.
For information about macros please click the following links.
