Just adding some input, If we have to hyperlink the cell from a sheet within same workbook, we don't have to write complete link as mentioned above, Let me suggest two easy options here;

  1. wherever you want to create a link, just type =HYPERLINK("#rangeid=sheet ID","sheet name"), writing Sheet Name here means that you want this name to be shown in the Cell
    or
  2. just right click on any cell, click on Insert Link, and click on the sheet where you want the link, it will work
