Add Hyperlinks To Range & Link Based On Cell Value

Apr 29, 2008

I have a spreadsheet of various works-in-progress items, the first three columns of which refer to relevant documents, effectively the request, the estimate and the work order, i.e. RXXX-0001, EXXX-0001 & WXXX-0001.

So the text is entered as above (without file extension as it's also our reference number), and I'd like each to be linked to their respecive .doc files, which are held in different locations, i.e. \servernamefolderRequests or Estimates or Work Orders
e.g. \servernamefolderRequestsRXXX-0001.doc

There's a backlog of over 300 items (so 900 links) so I don't want to go through and manually create the links and as each day can see over 12 items being created it'd be much easier to have it done at the click of a button

Most of the solutions I've seen involve creating a new cell/button with the hyperlink in it - I just want to effectively "right click, create hyperlink" but with the cell contents inserted as the file name (adding ".doc") and with correct folder name too.

FYI the cells are adjacent to one another e.g. A1, A2 & A3 so the selection can be Offset (0,1) for the estimates and work orders.

I don't mind if it ends up being a case of running the macro on each line - some links have already been created already.

Hyperlinks - Keeping Link With Data Not With Cell

Mar 7, 2014

I have a spreadsheet that I have various formulas and sheets. To simplify:

Sheet 1: Columns A & B have Name and Code Number. I can add additional names and code numbers to these two columns whenever necessary.

Example:

Tom 874
John 385
David 712

Hidden in adjoining columns are formulas to automatically sort them via Code Number. Next to that are the columns showing the sorted information, sorted by number.

John 385
David 712
Tom 874

Additionally, I have a seperate sheet for Tom, John & David. Since I put Tom in first, he's Sheet 2. John is Sheet 3, and David is Sheet 4. I can use hyperlinks so when I click on John, it goes to Sheet 3; David Sheet 4; Tom Sheet 2.

Now, let's say I add Kevin 192 to the next row. The hidden columns are set up so that it'll automatically resort Kevin to the top, with John, David & Tom in the next rows down.

The issue I have with the hyperlink is that it's cell specific, not content specific, as far as I know. I would like the hyperlink to move with John's info so that it would still go to Sheet 3. Same with David and Tom. Unfortunately, after the resort, If I clicked on Kevin's name (which is now at the top of the list), it would go to John's sheet, since the hyperlink is attached to that cell.

How to allow a hyperlink to remain with the content, versus the cell? I would prefer it to be not a macro, but I'll take a macro over nothing!

Hyperlinks Link To Other Worksheets

Nov 25, 2009

I have managed to find some code which, upon pressing a command button on the 1st worksheet in my workbook it:

1. populates a list of the names of all the other sheets in the document
2. converts each name into a hyperlink that when clicked, opens the sheet. (or at least it should)
3. Add the word 'menu' in cell A1 of each sheet that is a hyperlink back to the menu sheet

There are around 40 sheets in the document so you can see why this is easier than scrolling along the bottom to find the correct one. Or it should be.!

Extracting Hyperlinks From An Image Link

May 16, 2008

I have copied and pasted a big table to excel. All the images have links and I need to extract that URL and post on it's own cell.

I have tried some hyperlink extracting code but I realized the images are not necessarily in a cell.

Is there a way to do this?

and by the way, is the a way to make the images show? I know they are there but they don't show.

Add Hyperlinks To Range Using Cell As Address

Sep 22, 2007

I've set up a macro to create around 50 http links (sites which i need to monitor every week but whose addresses change slightly every month)

I've also got a macro to open up all these web pages at once so I can look at them in internet explorer.

When these links are nicely created into cells the http link isn't recognised straight away by excel (e.g. doesn't go blue & underlined) until i click in the cell & change or return the cell value - as part of the autocorrect function i think.

Is there a way of getting excel to automatically recognise the http links without having to go individually into every cell.

Add Link Based On Cell Text?

Feb 22, 2012

In short I what to be able to check a check box and have the adjacent cell, which contains the tab name, to then reveal that tab and add a link to the tab to cell contain the tab name. I have done this with copying and pasting existing linked cells, but now I have 100 more to do and I do not want to write repetitive code to get it done.

Hide Columns Based On A Cell Link

Nov 15, 2006

I need to hide columns in a spreadsheet without using the hide/unhide columns option. I found an article which suggested setting up a combobox from the forms toolbar, this is populated by an input range and linked to a cell for a numeric value. The article although using a macro to hide rows suggested this code


Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()

If ComboBox1.Value = "A" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("1:3").EntireRow.Hidden = True
ActiveSheet.Range("4:6").EntireRow.Hidden = False
ElseIf ComboBox1.Value = "B" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("1:3").EntireRow.Hidden = False
ActiveSheet.Range("4:6").EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
End Sub

I want to amend this code so that when the number in my linked cell changes the various columns are hidden.

For example if the cell link number = 1 hide columns e to az if the cell link number = 2 hide columns d and f to az etc.

I have had varying success with amending this code to entirecolumn.Hidden and changing the Combobox1. to dropdown1. but am unable to get it to work, I also stupidly deleted the code that was partially working and am now unable to remember what I'd done.

Link Formula To File Based On Cell Value

Jan 22, 2008

I have a problem that may be a little bit diff. from must of the Readonly post that I have found here. Most people would like to have all of there files opened as readonly files, but I don't in this case. I am copying a number of files that has VBA code in just about all of them. I am using a CD writer to copy the files to a CD using Windows Explorer and that is working just great, No problem copying the files.

My problems comes in when I copy the files from the CD to another computer, all of the files are Readonly files on the new PC. I have not saved them as readonly and don't want them to be readonly files. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening what I need to check or change to get the files to another computer without being a readonly file.

Link Cell From 1 Sheet To Another: Pull Data Based On Time

Oct 17, 2006

I'm trying to make a floor plan which shows what seats are available depending on the time it is. So I made sheet1 = to the map (where the seats are located), sheet2 - rows = seat #'s, columns = Time (broken down by half hours). Now i have conditional format to show "t" in red (which means taken), "f" in blue (which means free), and "n" to show in gray (which means not working).

What i need is example - Seat # 200 in sheet 1 to show red, blue, or gray depending on the value in the row that corespond to this seat and the column that corespond to the current time.

Have Output Cell Of ActiveX Combobox Link To Named Range?

Apr 22, 2013

=AVERAGEIFS(MFI,DATE,">="&JanStart,DATE,"<="&JanEnd)

MFI is the named ranged that is referencing a column of data. This works, but I want to be able to change the MFI to a different named ranged.

So what I am trying to do is using an ActiveX Combo box so I can reference the named ranges that I have set, for example MFI, so each time a user chooses MFI or another named range, it will output to a linked cell (A1). Then the linked cell will be referenced into this forumla.

=AVERAGEIFS(A1,DATE,">="&JanStart,DATE,"<="&JanEnd)

Is it possible for A1 to be linked to the named range, so if the user choses MFI in the combo box, it will change all AverageIFS formulas to look at a different named range.

Formula That Uses Link In A Cell To Create Offset Link

Jun 28, 2013

I have two worksheets, one with detail monthly information and one with YTD information. So let's say the three numbers I want to capture in the YTD sheet are in columns B, G and I on the monthly sheet. January's data might be in B5, G5 and I5. February's data is in B12, G12 and I12 and so on.

On the YTD sheet in cell C2 I link to Monthly!B5 and in C3 I link to Monthly!B12 so cells C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet show the monthly totals from column B on the detail sheet. On the YTD sheet, cells C20 to C31 show the monthly totals from column G on the monthly sheet, so cells G5, G12, etc. And finally, cells C40 to C51 on the YTD sheet show monthly totals form column I on the monthly sheet.

In the past I've always created all these links manually. After creating the links in C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet, is there a way to use a formula in C21 that uses the link in C2 to create a link for G5?

Create Range Of Hyperlinks Using VBA?

Aug 20, 2013

In column A I have a range of file path extensions (i.e., C:UsersJSmithDocumentsModelsHic Sunt DraconesTest.xlsx). What I want is a macro that will use those file path extensions to create hyperlinks in column B.

So far this is what I have:

VB:
Sub Hyperlink()
Range("a1").Select
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection, Address:=Range("b1").Value, SubAddress:= _
"", TextToDisplay:="Link"
End Sub

This code works for the first cell, but does not work for the rest of the cells in the range. Also. Keep in mind that the range of cells in column A is dynamic - it changes in length.

Explicit Hyperlinks, Relative Hyperlinks

Feb 21, 2007

I have a spreadsheet and within the first sheet there are lots of hyperlinks to other cells within sheet 1 (my template).

I have made a small macro which very basically makes a copy of sheet 1 (my template)

The hyperlinks in the template are explicit and as they are copied to sheet two, they still reference back to cells in sheet 1. I need the hyperlinks to be relative, so that when I make a copy of the template the hyperlinks are copied and make reference to cells in the new sheet. I cannot work out how this should be done

Create Hyperlinks To Named Range Where Names Resides In Column

Aug 12, 2009

I have two sheets. Sheet A has a list of folders. This list is updates dynamically every time the sheet is opened. I have another sheet (sheet B) which has a list of all the files in the sub-folders, listed with the folder name at the top of the column and the files within in the column underneath with hyperlinks to them. The goal is to be able to navigate to the folders on sheet A and to click there to go to the column where all the files in that folder are linked to. What I need is a macro that will search a column and for every cell that has text in it and create in the column directly to the right a hyperlink to the appropriate cell in the top row in sheet B that has the same name as the text in the cell on sheet A that it finds. I already have the macros for listing the folders on sheet A and the macro for listing all the files in the sub folders in sheet B and they work fine. The goal is a link list which is dynamic and that recreates itself no matter what I add to the folders.

For instance, let’s say there is a folder timesheets. If I add a sub-folder called
accounting to the folder Sheet A scans then timesheets would be bumped down one spot on the list, so the macro has to look dynamically for the text in the column on sheet A.

Also the addition of the new folder would move the order of the columns on sheet B, since both lists are alphabetical. So the link generation macro would need to search row 1 of Sheet B to find the match for the text in the cell to the left of where the link would be generated and create a link to the top of that column. I’ve looked all through the site and not found something that I can even modify to do what I need.

Fill ComboBox With Cell Range And Link ComboBox To Cell?

Oct 15, 2006

I have two questions.

1). I have dates listed in excel (01/01/2006 to 12/31/2006) say from range B12:B376.

How do I get these values to a ComboBox.

2). If the above is possible and if I select a value in ComboBox say 08/07/2006, it should get updated in a particular cell say A1

So selection of 08/07/2006 in ComboBox, should reflect 08/07/2006 in cell A1.

Note: This ComboBox is on the UserForm and not on the Excel Sheet.

How To Macro Hyperlinks Placed At The Right Cell

Jul 10, 2014

I have a macro (Photo_Hyperlinks2) that creates a hyperlink for every file found from a specific folder in Column A of Sheet 1.

The rest of Sheet 1 is my long version of doing what I want the macro to do... place the hyperlinks at the right spot. Sheet "Checksheet" makes a hyperlink of the already made hyperlinks (from Sheet 1) ONLY if the hyperlink in Sheet 1 is found. Same goes for the hyperlinks (1), (2), (3), and (4).

I really want to get rid of having to create a Sheet 1. I'm pretty sure there's a way to tell a macro to place the hyperlinks that contain "id" and/or "est" on the right row number in sheet Checksheet, and that if that row (in Checksheet Sheet) contains a (1) -(4), put it in the right cell, while also ommiting the first part of the name (ex: from 123445E(1) to (1)) ; I can live without that part if it can't be done.

Sheet "Checklist Using C-G Columns" shows the hidden columns not seen in Sheet "Checklist". Those manually inputed numbers are there mainly to tell that if more than 1 of the cells on the row are filled out, then to create a new row below it, and to continue the hyperlinking with (5), (6)... etc.

The final product is supposed to look like Sheet "Ideal Checksheet", except that ideally links (5)... etc. should work, and columns C-G are hidden again.
