We can quickly navigate to different worksheets of the same workbook by linking worksheets with specific cells of a sheet. To link a cell to a worksheet we add a hyperlink between the content of a cell to the cell reference of another worksheet. In this way, we quickly jump to the relevant worksheet by clicking on the hyperlink.
