View 6 RepliesI have a lot of text in a cell and I want to create a Hyperlink using only 2 or 3 words and not the whole text. Unfortunately, it seems as though the hyperlink can only be from the cell itself. Is it possible with Excel to create a Hyperlink from a section of text in a cell, and NOT from the cell itself?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to display a hyperlink as text, I want the hyperlink path to be displayed in a different cell as text.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI basically need a formula in one tab of a spreadsheet that if another cell contains text it will search for that text in another tab and display a useable hyperlink to it.
So I want a formula in A1 in Sheet1 that will search for the text contained in A2 in Sheet2 and display a useable hyperlink to the cell in which that text is contained, in Sheet2.
This may not even be possible, but if it is then that would save me SO much time.
I have a workbook that has a main sheet which provides stats from other sheets within the workbook. I have a hyperlink which goes to a certain place of sheet 2 and the displayed text shows the contents of a cell on sheet 2.
I know it's possible to have the hyperlink go to a certain cell on another workbook as opposed to worksheet, but I cant display the contents of a cell on another workbook as the text on the hyperlink.
I have cells which already contain text, which I need to keep. But I want to add a rollover hyperlink to make them changes colour when the mouse hovers over them.
unfortunately the only way I know how to do this is to add a formula to the cells in question (mid programming) but I cant because that will erase the text I already have.
If, say cell A1, contains text such as:
"This Forum is wonderful, to see a great example for a post click here." <This is not an actual link here!>
Is it possible to have the "click here" part as a hyperlink, and not the entire cell?
Or- do i have to add an "image" or something similar to which i can add the hyperlink and then anchor the "image" to that cell?
in order to hyperlink a single peice of text in a cell and not the whole cell I have created a shape with no fill or line but added text. I then hyperlinked it to a location in the workbook. When I set the Move and size with cell property I am not geting the expected result. If I resize a row well above that cell, the object isn't following the cell it wa placed in. I would be happy with alternative mechanisms for putting independantly linked text.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have inherited multiple spreadsheets with thousands of hyperlinks in a single column, from all of which I need to extract the hyperlink text to audit it and edit it. The hyperlinks are only displaying less than useful words such as "Go To" "View" or "Click Here", for example.
Manually, I can right-click on the cell, select Edit Hyperlink, press Ctrl+End to select the entire link, press Ctrl+C to copy it, click on OK to close the editing dialogue, then paste it in the destination cell. That's easy, and good if you only have a few to do, but very tiresome if you have more than a dozen. Life's too short to do all those I need to do manually with a 29 day deadline!
I tried setting up a Macro to do it for me, but couldn't get it to work down a column and paste the result in the destination cell on the same row as each successive cell was located. I do very little Macro work, and I find Excel to be less than intuitive in this respect, so I gave up. (At least in Word you can see the whole step-by-step process in the Macro Editing window and easily fix it, if need be...).
One previous discussion, dating from 2006, supplied two answers. See [URL]
Should I set up a Macro and insert the above Function into it? Or is there a completely different way to do it? how to do this in Excel 2003/WinXP is very welcome.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created a worksheet to be used by a number of people at work and my issue is how to add sufficient instructions for some of the less tech minded users.
I have entered text in the comment box to 'assist', but would like to add either a picture WITH the text or something to the effect of "for further asistance and make the last part a hyperlink.
I have an email hyperlink setup on my excel sheet and I would like to automatically (not manually) add a sentence that is another cell (that changes from time to time) to the subject line or the body of the email.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet where when cell is clicked, it opens the hyperlink dialogue and allows a user to insert a hyperlink into the cell next to it.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Column = 27 And Target.Row > 7 And Target.Row < 401 Then
If Application.Dialogs(xlDialogInsertHyperlink).Show Then
Target.Cut Target.Offset(, 1)
End If
End If
End Sub
So if the cell AA8 is click it allows the user to insert a hyperlink and the hyperlink is pasted in to the cell AB8.
What I need: Is for the cell AA8 to say "Click to Add Hyperlink" and then once a hyperlink is added AB8 to say in the cell "Hyperlink to Folder".
I have an excel spreadsheet with a column for hyperlinks. Any information added into that column needs to be a hyperlink. How can I format the entire column so that when a user cuts and pastes the text will automatically turn into a hyperlink?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a hyperlink generated from a vlookup that is generated from the result of a combo box click, so the reference in the hyperlink cell will change to whatever sheet the vlookup dictates.
Then I have a macro assigned to a button ( Called 'Go' ) that when pressed clicks on the hyperlink and takes me to that corresponding sheet.
When I recorded the macro, it clicked on the hyperlink cell when it was hyperlinking to let's say Sheet 'April', but if I click on let's say September, in the combo box, then of course the hyperlink now links to the September sheet, but if I click the 'Go' button with the macro attached, it still takes me to 'April'.
surely, the macro simply follows the steps I recorded and therefore should now be clicking on the hyperlink that now says 'September'. Surely, the macro shouldn't REMEMBER that it originally clicked on 'April'.
I have a workbook with over 40, identically formated, sheets. Each sheet has 96 pages. One page for each roll of carpet. To hunt for the next blank page to use, is time consuming.
So:
On each sheet, Range B207:B303, I have IF formulas that will display the carpet ID number for each page, if one is present, or the cell remains blank. In Range C207:C303, I have Hyperlinks to the pages on the sheet.
I need a macro that will search the Range in column B for the first blank cell, then automatically use the Hyperlink next it in column C. Then I can assign the macro to a button, copy and past the button on all 40 sheets. With one click of the button, I will instantly be taken to the page availabel for data entry on that sheet.
I have a workbook open and my A column cells are filled with (example) Mike-1 in the first row Mike-2 in the second row and so on. Now I have another folder on the computer with Word documents that I want to hyperlink to. The corresponding Word file is named mike1. So I want Excel to go through column A and Hyperlink to the corresponding Word file.

I have a macro that basically captures all of the errors in my spreadsheet and summarizes them under 3 columns (Value in Cell, Sheet, Cell) so that I can quickly identify the error message as well as it's location. I wanted to take it a set further and add a hyperlink for each error so that the user can quickly go to the error location to investigate. I really don't care where the hyperlink is located as far as which 3 columns.
Range("G2").Select
Selection.End(xlToRight).Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
curRow = ActiveCell.Row + 3
[Code] ........
I have the following
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
updateall = MsgBox("Do you want to update the previous balance?", vbYesNo)
If updateall = vbYes Then
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
' clear previous payments
Range("U3").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.ClearContents
' update previous balance
Range("H54").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("G11").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False
Range("D7").Select
ActiveSheet.Protect
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Now, this works just fine if the user clicks the sheet itself. However, generally they are accessing sheets via hyperlinks, which do not seem to activate this code. Is there a better/different way to ensure when the user gets to a sheet via hyperlink, they still see the msgbox?[/b]
Is it possible to make a macro that can search for a file with the same name as a cell's text and then link that cell to the file?
Example, if I had cells that said "One" "Two" "Three" "Four" and "Five" and had a folder in my C drive with 5 files names "One.jpg"... etc could I make the macro search a folder for that file and link to it?
can i use a hyperlink to call/invoke a macro...?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to use a macro (assigned to a button) to open a file named in a hyperlink.
When I record the macro it results in the file being opened, but when I run the resulting macro it only selects the cell, it doesn't follow the hyperlink.
adds the file name into column A if it could also hyperlink it to that file. 2nd, Change it so it doesn't start a new workbook and worksheet. I would like it to just run in the Workbook it is in and each time the macro runs or the workbook opens it updates any info that has changed.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIve got this macro used to search for a particular code in an excel sheet with about 4000 codes, each assigned a hyperlink.
my goal is to make the user enter the hyperlink automatically in the code upon hitting search.
So far this is what i have:
the problem is that it only works with hyperlinks which are assigned a link (right click assign hyperlink) and not codes which work with a formula for example =HYPERLINK("http://www.google.com", "ABC123")
Sub searchsheet()
'Opens box and ask what do they want to search

I have this macro that I use for taking information based column B grouping it together and putting in a separate worksheet.
What I would like to do is in the master sheet (sheet1) to create a hyperlink for those listed in column B so I can click on it and it takes me right to that worksheet.
Sub exporttoWS()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Range, LR As Long, ws As Worksheet, wb As Workbook, C As Range
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("A1").Select
'looking at the full length of the file
LR = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
'sheet needs to be named sheet1, all data should begin on row 3

I'm trying to create a macro that I can assign to a clip art pic that will pop up the Insert Hyperlink prompt when I click on the picture. So basically anytime I click on the pic for the 1st time I'd like to be able enter the url address of my choosing but if I were to click on that pic again I want it to go to the Hyperlink address I previously entered.
I should note that I tried recording a macro by first by clicking on Record Macro then press ctrl + k and then click Stop Recording but it wouldn't stop recording. I had to first click Cancel on the Insert Hyperlink prompt and then I was able to Stop Recording so this attempt was unsuccessful.
I know there are better ways of doing this but I am working with an existing form and I need it to look the same.
Column O on Sheet1 has a link that use to open a document, now all the information is on Sheet2. On Sheet2 I have a macro that hides every Project except for the Project Number the user selects in B4 of Sheet2.
Can I create a link that will:
1) Select Sheet2
2) Enter the Project Number from Sheet1, current Row, column D to Sheet2 cell B4
I know a link can select a worksheet so I have #1 covered but I am stuck from there.
I am building a dashboard and would like to be able to have shapes I have created be clickable with a dynamic link to a document on our network. Something along the hyperlink() function.
In a cell, the function looks like this: =HYPERLINK(Worksheet!I34,Worksheet!F34).
The data in I34 changes, depending on the input from a drop down using a vlookup command. Is it possible to create a macro and assign it to a shape to make the shape a clickable link?
I have an office map with a somewhat large number of hostnames similar to the structure shown below. I would like to have a macro scan through the hostnames (they all start with "BIGENTERPRS") and change them into a clickable hyperlink that points to "\hostnamec$". So for example, one hostname is "BIGENTERPRS0001". I want the macro to hyperlink that name to the address \BIGENTERPRS0001C$
