When you want to jump to a specific worksheet in a workbook, you can use the Go To feature of Excel to make the jump painless, in the following manner:
This works great for regular worksheets, but it won't work if you want to jump to a chart sheet. Why? Because Go To is used to jump to specific cells (in this case, cell A1 on MySheet), and chart sheets have no cells you can reference.
If you want a quick way to jump to a chart sheet, you will need to resort to a macro. You can have the macro ask for a chart sheet name, and then use the Activate or Select methods with the sheet name. The pertinent line of the macro—the one that does the actual "jumping"—can be either of these:
Sheets("MyChart").Activate Sheets("MyChart").Select
All you need to do is substitute the proper name of the chart sheet in place of "MyChart."

Go To is very powerfull for selecting fields with the same attributes, especially GoTo "Blanks" or "Errors". For example you can easily select all fields with errors and change backround color to red or highlight blank fields with missing informations.
Got a version of Excel that uses the ribbon interface (Excel 2007 or later)? This site is for you! If you use an earlier version of Excel, visit our ExcelTips site focusing on the menu interface.
