Hyperlink Function To External Workbooks
Sep 11, 2009
I'm trying to create a hyperlink that takes a user to a specific cell (or range of cells) in an external workbook, and I've run into bit of a roadblock. I've discovered that using the method:
=HYPERLINK("[\serverfolder....file.xls]worksheet!range","message")
works just fine as long as there are no spaces in the worksheet name. Unfortunately I am trying to link to an external worksheet with spaces in the name (which I am not allowed to edit).

I'm trying to set-up a costing system as follows:
Each job has it's own xls file, this is a list of manually input costs and a total cost at the bottom (total is the same Cell reference: G24) for all xls files. The xls file is named the same as the job - F0001, F0002 etc.
At the end of every month we then want to create a master list xls file for all jobs being invoiced that month. This is a list of all the jobs - F0001, F0002 etc. In Column A, and the corresponding cost totals in column B.
In the master file we want to be able to type in the job reference to column A (i.e. the file names of the single job files -F0001, F0002 etc) and have the corresponding total for that reference display automatically in Column B (i.e. Cell G24 from file F0001 will display in the master file cell B1, when 'F0001' is typed in cell A1).
Ideally the master file would display all the individual entries automatically, so no need to input the job references either - simply scanning the directory for the other files present and creating a list automatically in the master file, alternatively it can get the job reference from Cell A1 in the individual job files, instead of from the file name.

I've been trying without success to hyperlink a shape in one workbook that refers to a website contained in a second workbook cell.
The hyperlinked shape is in the current workbook and the website address is in a workbook called "data source.xlsx", sheet 1, cell A1.
My last attempt was this - ('C:UsersLouiseDocumentsMA[data source.xlsx]Sheet1'!A1)

I have several links to external workbooks that cannot be found...
I have deleted all Name references that posses a ref#
Also I have tried to change the source to the workbook that I am using, but I keep getting a message that says invalid reference to external workbook! In other words it won't let me change my source
I have several work books that I want to change there source, or even get rid of because I can't update them anyways and I don't think it matters if they are updated!

I have a workbook called Pricing.xls that contains *multiple* external links. The Pricing WB summarized monthly data, the trick is that each month is in a different WB (*DEC06.xls), and the big problem is that there are dozens WBs a month.
I am using vlookups to get the data from external WBs.
The way that it is being done currently is; the formula is copied across month to month, and them manually editing the link in the formula bar. This seems to half work, but causes Excel grief. Is there a way to link to multiple work books without manually linking them each time?

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 workbook that is being used by many individuals. Within it contains links to an external workbook on a server. Currently the links in the workbook map the server to drive "T".
If a different user maps the same server to another drive letter, I assume these links need to be updated with the drive letter he/she is using for that server?

I'm trying to create a VBA macro which will open external workbooks in a specific folder. thes workbooks will have filenames which are identical to the value in cell B1 of my active workbook. Once open, I would use indirect to pull certain results from that external workbook and then close it. I have a separate macro already which runs through the list. I found a few examples online but they don't seem to work.

I have a set up a workbook which is linked to numerous other workbooks to provide a summary of information in one location.
However, when we reach April the names of all the linked worksheets will change from 'name 09 - 10' to 'name 10 - 11'.
What is the best way of handling this transition, will I have to manually change all of the links?
I have attached a much simplified example, unfortunately I cannot post the original due to sensitive data.
Apologies if the explanation isnt clear enough, let me know and I'll give further detail.

I have a Sharepoint site which seems to be set up incorrectly as I cant even do a webquery with it, or sync Excel with it.
I want to be able to open up the Excel workbooks held in this one dir within Sharepoint take some data out of it pop it into another Excel workbook and move on down to the next one!.
So far all the code I have managed to locate causes errors, so I have managed to get a feed from the Sharepoint site which gives me a hyperlink to all the docs (as these can change). What I now need is some code to run through all the hyperlinks open the doc (if it ends in xls or xlsx as some are PDF's!) take the info copy it out and move on to the next one.

When I open the master file I want my links to automatically update and open the referenced files without having to open the source document for each value. Can this be done

I'm creating a tool for some of my colleagues to use at work. So far, I have a series of check boxes setup that get the user determine if this is the proper tool or not. Once the appropriate check boxes are filled, I'm trying to get excel to give the user a link to the next step.
I have =IF(AND(followonconst=TRUE,Commercial=TRUE,fixedprice=TRUE),?????, "This tool cannot be used")
The names within the 'AND' operation are the references to the output of the check boxes, and all three must be true. What I'm trying to figure out is what I need to put where the question marks are.
Here's what I want to happen...Once all three boxes are checked, I want a link to show up that takes them to another tab in the same spreadsheet. Here's another possible hitch though, the users will likely save this tool into who knows what directory and rename it all sorts of things.

I am performing a vlookup in a worksheet and want to retrieve a hyperlink displayed on another worksheet in the same workbook.
The Vlookup finds the item I am looking for, but the hyperlink comes in as text. Do I need to perform the vlookup differently when trying to retrieve a hyperlink?

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.

I'm having a problem with the HYPERLINK function. I am trying to make jumps from an index sheet to the large worksheet with all the actual info in it. The name of the file is SKU and the large info sheet is also called SKU. First I took the SKU sheet and numbered the rows (="A"&CELL("row",A1)), then in the index worksheet I created a VLOOKUP that finds the corresponding chapter title and returns that value.
Worksheet 1
A B C
1
2 100 =VLOOKUP(A2,SKU!$A$1:$B$3,2,FALSE) ="[SKU]SKU!"&VLOOKUP(A2,SKU!$A$1:$B$3,2,FALSE)
3 150 =VLOOKUP(A3,SKU!$A$1:$B$3,2,FALSE) ="[SKU]SKU!"&VLOOKUP(A3,SKU!$A$1:$B$3,2,FALSE)
I used the HYPERLINK formula in column D: "=HYPERLINK(C2,A2)" and it returns something that looks like the right thing but the link won't open.

Is it possible to use the HYPERLINK function inside of a validation list?
Presently I have a dynamically named range on another worksheet that includes a hyperlinked term. When I attempt to create a validation list using this named range the term appears in the list without the hyperlink.

I'm currently working on a problem that I'm having with Hyperlinks. Basically I want to copy the destination data that the hyperlink points to onto another sheet.
The main problem I'm having here is that I cant seem to find a suitable method to do this....I had the idea of using the hyperlink.follow function and then copying the data once I'm there and then moving back to the source hyperlink. My only problem with that is that I dont know how to find the cell address that the hyperlink is in, once I have found that hyperlink.
Therefore my question is two-fold:
- Is there a way to copy the destination data using some sort of hyperlink function?
- If not, is there a way to find the cell address within a worksheet, once a hyperlink is found on that worksheet?
I've attached the spreadsheet below to give a better idea of what Im doing, along with the "findHyperlinks" macro,within that workbook, that I am currently working on.

I am trying to use Workbooks.Open() function in a function. The function is not working as desired (it does not return workbook object), but when i use same piece of code in sub(macro), it works fine. I am not sure if I cant use this API inside function. I am using function because I would like to call this inside cell and that should return some value.

I have around 700 workbooks in a folder on my PC.
My master file(master database.xlsx) is kept open from which i have to Vlookup the values into these 700 workbooks.
The "agent Id" column is common in both the master database.xlsx as well as those other workbooks also.
The thing i want to do is i need the data from the "reporting supervisor" which is in the master database.xlsx file to be available in the G column of the other 700 books ( i have attached only 4 sample books). The G column can be then named as "Reporting Supervisor". Since "Agent ID" is available in both files we can vlookup taking this as a base. I have attached the 4 sample files out of 700 as well as the master database file in a zip file.

I created an addin that puts a formula in a cell to make use of a UDF in the addin. It works fine.
But when I make changes to my addin, save it as new name, load the new addin (same as the old but with new code for other things) and then open the workbook that had the UDF working, it now changes from
=customUDFfunction(1,2,3)
to
='C:Documents and SettingshomeuserApplication DataMicrosoftAddInsAddinV123.xla'!customUDFfunction(1,2,3)
The code I'm using to create the formula in the cell is
Cells(x, y).Formula = "=customUDFfunction(1,2,3)"
I'm assuming that when I create the formula in the cell it gets tagged somehow with the addin name and location. How to just put the formula with keeping it specific to the addin that created it?

We're using XP Pro using Excel 07
The background is there are about 40 people who use a Excel based program that contains a pivot and a bunch of other tools that they use on a regular basis, this set of tools has a version number. In this excel workbook, it has a function that looks on the network drive that we have and checks the local version vs the version on our network drive, if its wrong, then the user gets a popup stating your tools are out of date, would you like to update, then they click yes and I have these lines of code
Public Function GetNewTools()
Dim MyFullName As String
'Turn off alerts
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
'Open the new version of tools
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"Network DriveUpdate.xlsm"
End Function
The update file has this code that executes on fileopen in the thisworkbook section by calling the following sub
The main issue we're running into is near the very end, the code never makes it to "TEST 2". After the first workbooks close, the code just stops running. No crashes, errors, freezes, anything. It just stops running and never makes it to the second msg box.
