Shortest method to navigate to a worksheet

 

Shortest method to navigate to a worksheet

 

Your workbook is huge. It has dozens of sheets. After working in a certain sheet you need to return to the Master sheet/Index sheet or whatever name you call it.

You could, of course, add a hyperlink to the master sheet from each and every sheet but that, of course, isn't practical.

On the other hand, the "classical" method (as shown in the next two pictures) is also a cumbersome and time-consuming two-phase process.

    


            Old method 1: right-click the navigation icon < to display the worksheets' list

 



                    Old method 2: scroll through the list. When you reach the sheet press OK

 

So what's the best solution?

Creating a named range and using it with one click
😊

1.   Press CTRL+F3 to go to the Name Manager


          CTRL+F3: Opening the Name Manager


 

2.   Press Alt+N (or simply click the New… button) to define a new name

 

3.   In the New Name pane that opens, click: O (for One) in the name. Of course, you can choose any name. I chose the shortest 'cause I'm lazy 😊

 

4.     In the Refers to type: =INDEX!$A$1 (or: Sheet1!$A$1 or whatever the name of your master sheet is) and press: OK



Defining the shortcut to the INDEX worksheet

 

Now, from any worksheet, in order to navigate to the INDEX sheet, just:
1. CTRL+G (or F5) to open the go to pane

2. Type: O

3. Press: OK





                                 Fastest navigation to the target sheet



If you're nimble enough, you can do it in less than 200 milliseconds !!!!

Do you have a faster way?
