Hyperlinked Index of Sheets in Workbook

Here we will first insert a VBA module, then run it to complete the task. So let us see a simple process to know how you can create hyperlinked indexes of sheets in a workbook in Excel.

Step 1

Consider any Excel sheet.

First, right-click on the sheet name and select View Code to open the VBA application.

Step 2

Then click on Insert, select Module, and copy the below code into the text box.

Insert > Select Module > Copy.

Example

Sub CreateIndex()
   Dim xAlerts As Boolean
   Dim I  As Long
   Dim xShtIndex As Worksheet
   Dim xSht As Variant
   xAlerts = Application.DisplayAlerts
   Application.DisplayAlerts = False
   On Error Resume Next
   Sheets("Index").Delete
   On Error GoTo 0
   Set xShtIndex = Sheets.Add(Sheets(1))
   xShtIndex.Name = "Index"
   I = 1
   Cells(1, 1).Value = "INDEX"
   For Each xSht In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
      If xSht.Name <> "Index" Then
         I = I + 1
         xShtIndex.Hyperlinks.Add Cells(I, 1), "", "'" & xSht.Name & "'!A1", , xSht.Name
      End If
   Next
   Application.DisplayAlerts = xAlerts
End Sub

Step 3

Then you click on F5 to run the module. Then you can see that all the cells below the index will be hyperlinked.
