I am creating a excel spreadsheet with multiple reports. I am using EXL2K OPEN FOR THE FIRST REPORT AND EXL2K CLOSE for the last report. The first report lists out the pages that will be used as a table of contents.. How do I add links to the table of contents to link to the desired report?

Look at this post from Ablebits :
Excel: How to add a hyperlink to another sheet

Then, using code similar to below you can create your link to put in sheet 1
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COMPUTE LNK /A100V= '=HYPERLINK("#''' || COUNTRY || '''!A1", "Go To ' | LCWORD(10, COUNTRY, 'A10') || '")'; AS 'Table Of Content'
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K OPEN
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/endeflt.sty,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
     TITLETEXT='Table Of Content',
$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT MODEL AS 'Model'
BY COUNTRY  AS 'Country'
BY CAR      AS 'Car'
ON TABLE SET COMPOUND BYTOC
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K CLOSE
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/endeflt.sty,
$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN

The only issue with that is that the HYPERLINK references are displayed as text in Excel so you need to edit and press Enter to "activate" the function. Maybe with a macro it can be solved to have it as a real function and not a text.

I also remember that it was previously discussed in another post in this Forum.
