I have the following formula =HYPERLINK(("G:ProjectTest Project"),"Link". Now this works fine, However I have a cell "A5" containing "Test Project" And I would rather the link refernced the cell contents So the code would look something like this; =HYPERLINK(("G:Project"+A5+"),"Link"). or something to that effect, this obviously doesnt work hence why I am here.
View 3 RepliesBasically I have a folder with file names in the format:
"XXXXX characterstring"
where X is a digit
E.g.:
45627 -jdsuuuds.pdf
93823 Coates.pdf
98221 dagggiisa d sass.pdf
And I have an excel sheet with a list of the numbers at the start of these file names, eg:
45627
93823
98221
So what I want to do is have each cell link to the file with the corresponding number. So I click "45627" and it links to "C:path45627 -jdsuuuds.pdf"
I could do it if the file names matched exactly to the cell value, but when they don't.
It's super easy when the file name matches exactly:
VB: ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add ActiveCell, "C:path" & ActiveCell & ".pdf"
VB:
Sub makelinks() ChDrive "c"
ChDir "c:pathl"
For Each ce In Selection
filee = Dir(ce.Value & "*.pdf")

I am having a slight problem copying hyperlinks. I have written some code that sorts data by date and then creates a simple diary. It originally placed the name of the event in the new diary sheet. What I would like to do is instead of copying the name into this new sheet copy a hyperlink that I have created to the company's website for that event.
I can create the hyperlink using hyperlink(B1,A1) where A1 is the company name and B1 is the web address but since the new sheet will not have the underlying data I need to actually copy the values and format of the hyperlink rather than the formula.
I have a list of University courses listed in Sheet1. Column A contains a unique course code. If there is a problem with a course, a second worksheet (called Anomalies) contains the same unique course code with description of the problem(s).
What I'm trying to do is: in Sheet 1, create a hyperlink to the relative cell in Sheet 2 that shows the course code and description. I've gotten close, but am not sure how I can do this without having to update two formulas. In short, I can't find a way to combine the two formulas.
What I've done is the following: in Sheet 1, column B, created a HYPERLINK formula, thus: =HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",INDIRECT(C54)),A54)
Column C contains a formula to lookup the relative position in the Anomalies worksheet, which can be referenced back to the HYPERLINK formula, thus:
=("Anomalies!A"&MATCH(A54,Anomalies!A:A,0))
Sheet1 is fairly static, but Sheet2 (Anomalies) is being updated all the time. I could just hide column C and then column B will update based on that, but I'd prefer a cleaner solution.
I've tried joining the two formulas, by replacing the INDIRECT part with the second formula, as per the following: HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address","Anomalies!A"&MATCH(A54,Anomalies!A:A,0)),A54)
but I get an error.
I have this code that looks through my worksheet once the conditions are met it will email, and in column "M" I put a hyperlink to where the document is stored. All works as far as the email format, even grabs the hyperlink but it’s not clickable in the email.

I want to add hyperlinks to certain cells using drag and drop. I've got a userform with a toolbar that I use as a drop zone for files (called tbDrop). In the userform, below the dropzone is a label called "label2"
The dragging and dropping works as a charm, label2 shows me the file location and adds it as a hyperlink to the cell.
However, when I click the hyperlink the file can't be opened.
I've used the result string, added it manually as a hyperlink and recorded it. That worked, but i saw no difference in the recorded macro.
VB:
Private Sub tbDrop_OLEDragDrop(Data As MSComctlLib.DataObject, Effect As Long, Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)

I'm trying to insert a hyperlink to another excel file such that when you click on the link it opens that file up... When i go to insert a hyperlink and i select the file.. when i click on the file it says "the adress of this site is not valid. Check the address and try again" The file is on another drive on the server and i was wondering what the restrictions are in terms of where the files have to be in relativity to each other
View 4 Replies View RelatedI created a hyperlink to a .PDF and it works when I test it. However, when I save the file, go in later, and select the hyper link I am met with a 'Cannot open the specified file' message.

When you click on Cell C5 (which will say "ADD") I would Like the (Computer Browse Menu) to appear
you can then search for the file and press Attach
This will then create a hyperlink in that cell (or in a different cell) Saying "File Attached"
when you click on "File Attached" it will then open that file
I completly lost on how to do this
but here is the formula i have so far when it comes to click on the cell
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim arrValues
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Intersect(Range("C5:C5000"), Target) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

I have an Excel 2003 application that creates a new workbook and adds hyperlinks that link up to other tabs withing the same new workbook.
Issue is that if say the default workbook name was "Book1" but the user saves this workbook with any other name, the hyperlinks die.
Is there anyway to use the current name of the file (instead of "Book1" in this example) in the formula "=HYPERLINK("[book1.xls]Sheet3!A1", "test")"
why no formula based hyperlinks will work in my workbook. even the simplest formula's. either it returns "cannot open specified file" or it does absolutely nothing even though the cursor acknowledges its a hyperlink.

On sheet4 is a list of dates and I named that range as UPDATES2013. Each cell in that range is a hyperlink. Sheet1 cell I3 is a data validation list with the named range UPDATES2013 as the list. When a selection from Cell I3 is made I can get it to follow they hyperlink with the code I have. The problem I am having is if there is no file found, then I would like my Userform1 to show. I have tried several different things with the code, but every time I think Im going to get it to work....it doesn't. It either wont show the Userform at all, or it shows it even if the file is found. I am currently putting the code to run the macro on the worksheet module using the worksheet_change event.
One last thing...I also have hyperlinks throughout Sheet1 that will lead to the same files as in the named range UPDATES2013 from sheet4. I need the same thing to happen if they click one of these hyperlinks instead of using the data validation list in Cell I3. Is there a way to make one code that will show Useform1 if a hyperlink is selected and the file cannot be located (whether it be by the individual cells on sheet1...or the data validation list in Cell I3)?Here is the code I am using right now.

Assume 2 workbooks - book1 and book2, both located in "c:" (root of drive C)
Now, In book1 I have declared an HL to book2 using CTRL+K and upon clicking in that cell the book2 is opened.
After MOVING(!) book1 to a new location (D:DATA) and clicking the HL - I get an Error "cannot open the specified file".
While book1 was still in root C: - I tried to force to c:ook2.xls by typing it in the HL address window but after saving, Excel deletes the "c:" and leaves "book2.xls" only – I think because both files were located I the same directory.
I am aware that my "problem" can be solved by using the function HYPERLINK – but I would like to learn (if possible) how to insert an HL using CTRL+K that will maintain the path although moving the file which contains the HL).
I would like to write a macro that would insert a hyperlink to another file an would prompt the user to select the location of the file once the macro was run. I am not sure how I would get my macro to prompt the user to define the location (which is located on a network drive).

How do I create a hyperlink in an Excel 2003 file that will open a PDF file with Reader?
I have an Excel file of hundreds of Customer names and invoice numbers. I have a directory of PDF files. The name of each PDF file is the customer name, a space, and the invoice number. I should be able to have a column in the Excel file that contains a formula that creates a hyperlink to open the corresponding PDF file.
I used the HYPERLINK function and built the path and file by concatenating information. When I click the hyperlink, I keep getting an Excel error: Cannot open the specified file.
Do you think this problem is something of my own doing or some "undocumented feature" in Excel?

I'm trying to put together an accounting spreadsheet that is able to pull information from other files.
So I have a staff member, let's say "Rick", and I have created a file with all his details in it aptly named "Rick".
I also have a file called "Year Accounts" which pulls information from other files to basically give me a simple yearly overview.
I want to be able to pull my staff details into this one (tax file number, wages etc...)
To do this I want to be able to put his name "Rick" into A1 And A2 to go to that file and get the information from cell A5 in the "Personal Details" page Then in A3 to go to the "Wages" page and get cell B3
The following formula almost works, but where/how do I add the page reference as it only goes to the first page? =INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!A5")
