How would I have all sheets hidden when not the active sheet so the only sheet visible is the table of contents?

So click a table of contents link and it brings up that sheet then when you go back to the table of contents that sheet goes hidden again.

Hi,

For internal hyperlinks in worksheet I use function since does not brake whenever the name of worksheet is changed:

E.g. (Just Change 'Sheet2!A1' and 'Link text')
=HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",Sheet2!A1),"Link text")

If I wanted to reference a specific cell on the sheet that is listed in the TOC, how would I do that? I've tried several different things:

=IF(LEN(A9),INDIRECT(ADDRESS(17,5,1,1,$A9)),Äù")

and variations on

=IF(LEN(A3),TEXT(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(1,5,1,$A3)),"$#,##0.00"),"")

but I keep getting a #VALUE! error. I don't get it. Basically I just want to have a formula that will get the contents of a cell on the sheet that is named in cell $A3, using your wondrous TOC function above.

Thanks in advance for any help you're able to give!

Andres. Tried your solution also.
MSExcel corrected it to:
=IF(LEN(IF(COUNTA(Sheets)>=ROW($A2),INDEX(Sheets,ROW($A2)),"")),HYPERLINK("#"&IF(COUNTA(Sheets)>=ROW($A2),INDEX(Sheets,ROW($A2)),"")&"!A1?,IF(COUNTA(Sheets)>=ROW($A2),INDEX(Sheets,ROW($A2)),"")),"""))

which yields goofy results and no hyperlink action

#Table of Contents!A1?,IF(COUNTA(Sheets)>=ROW($A2),INDEX(Sheets,ROW($A2)),")),"

Am I missing something?

Thanks, Dick. The changing of quotes did the trick for me. Should have known, use another application that is finicky.

Even when I copied that formula and fixed the double quotes, WordPress changed them back to goofy. I’m not sure why those two and not the others. Just check all your double quotes.

It worked for me in 2007 J. Here's something to check.

=SUBSTITUTE(GET.WORKBOOK(1),"["&BookName&"]","")

In the above name, the double quotes got screwed up - the second to last and third to last double quotes. If you copied and pasted that formula, you may need to replace those goofy characters with real double quotes.

Ok - learned about dragging.
Followed the instructions above and double checked, but A2....A50 is blank, B2...B50 is "FALSE"

Does this work on MSExcel 2007?

Thanks for the speedy reply!!

J: Grab the fill handle and pull it down to extend the range and fill down. See
