Possibility to use hyperlinks in a shared excel workbook

$

I've got an excel document where we've enabled the "Track Changes" functionality in order to capture who's changes what and when - for this you'd have to share the workbook.

We've now found that we want to make it a bit easier to navigate in the file (as it's getting quite big) - and in this process we'd like to make use of hyperlinks between tabs.

Now I've looked around a bit to find out how to do this - because as you may know Excel doesn't allow you to use hyperlinks when the workbook is shared (at least not that I know of) - and I don't want to - unshare workbook > insert hyperlink > reshare - as that means losing the tracking we've made so far :(

I've been able to find an answer stating:

In the Formula Bar for the cell you want the link in, use the following formula: =HYPERLINK("url_goes_here", "cell_content_here")

Now I've tried inserting something like this: =HYPERLINK("'CHANGE LOG'!"; "CHANGE LOG") and alternatively =HYPERLINK("'CHANGE LOG'"; "CHANGE LOG")

It does truly insert a hyperlink but I just get an error message stating "cannot open the specified file."

Is anyone aware of a workaround or able to tell if I'm doing something completely wrong?

Br, Thomas
