Linking to another tab in Google Sheets
Here is a forum which is similar to your concern.

When you switch to a different sheet in Google Spreadsheets, pay attention to the URL in your browser's address bar. At the end of the URL you should see something like:
#gid=0
This number changes when you switch sheets, and specifies which sheet to display. Copy the entire URL and create a hyperlink to it with this formula:
=hyperlink("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsaQpHJE_LShcDJ0dWNudHFZWVJqS1dvb3FLWkVrS0E#gid=0", "LINK TEXT")
You can also see in the link provided above how to do it using scripts. "This menu item will open a panel with a list of names of all the sheets in the current spreadsheet. It doesn't look like it, but if you click on one of the sheet names, that sheet will come to the front."

Hope this helps!
Non-formula hyperlinks are now officially supported in Google Sheets, so you now have two more ways of doing this.
The manual way: select a cell, insert a link (Insert > Insert Link or Ctrl+K), and add a link to the target sheet
#gid=<sheet id>
. Unlike HYPERLINK formulas, the sheet will open in the current tab.The automatic way: create a script (Tools > Script Editor) and use
setLinkUrl()
to link to a sheet.
For instance, the following function iterates through all cells in column A of sheet "Foo" starting at the 2nd row, and assigns links based on the text of the row.function linkRange() { const startRow = 2, // Start at the second row. column = 1; // Add links to column A. const spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive(), sheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName("Foo"), lastRow = sheet.getLastRow(); for (let row = startRow; row <= lastRow; row++) { const range = sheet.getRange(row, column), richTextValue = range.getRichTextValue(), targetSheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName(richTextValue.getText()); if (targetSheet !== null) { const sheetId = targetSheet.getSheetId(), builder = richTextValue.copy().setLinkUrl(`#gid=${sheetId}`); range.setRichTextValue(builder.build()); } } }
Note that it will discard existing links and formulas in that column.
How about this: from my Analyser sheet that feeds many presentation sheets.
If the sheets are dynamically created/inserted, you can insert the #gid automatically.
EDIT 1 Sheet ref can be reduced to #gid; added filter
=ArrayFormula(
SORT(
FILTER(
HYPERLINK("#gid="&Analyser!H4:H,Analyser!G4:G),Analyser!H4:H>0)
)
)
