I have a few thousand files that I'm trying to hyperlink into excel. The files are named with a date at the end of it. I want to be able to hyperlink to that file just by looking up the name without the date portion. So basically I'm asking if I could hyperlink a file with only a part of the name, and yes the names are distinct even without the date. I now am loading all of the file names into a spread sheet via a VBA code, however with almost 10k files that process takes longer than I'd like.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIn trying to make an alphabetized record of all inventory for work, I ran into a snafu when creating shortcuts for other users to the different letters.
I hyperlinked something like a table of contents together and hyperlinked them to the cells, so clicking on B in the table of contents takes you to cell B64. I want to future-proof it with absolute references but haven't been able to.
I tried right clicking and typing in the cell name--but when I add more cells, instead of moving to B72 like it should, the hyperlink stays in B64, which is now part of the As.
I also tried: =HYPERLINK(A$64,"B") as well as =HYPERLINK(B_Start,"B") by naming the cell. The name went to B72, but the link stayed in B64
My URL is a javascript page. which looks something like this:

How can I do this?
In my restaurant we have a master computer upstairs that collects all of the register sales info. Then we have a computer downstairs that my employees sign in and out on.

I'm trying to Hyperlink my documents to a folder and file name specified by different cells in my workbook
Or essentially, I'm trying to go from this...
I'm having trouble creating a hyperlink that will automatically take a value from a cell and link me directly to a file of the same name across the company server.
For example in column B I have a number along the lines of
43FG2345678
In a folder on the server I have a word document that goes by that exact file. I need to create a hyperlink that looks up that value and searches for that specific document in the location file, and then directly open that file.
The value in column B will change with each line so as I copy the formula/hyperlink down I want it to automatically go in and replace the text and then lookup the file.
I have tried the concatenate function within the hyperlink but not had much luck.
I have a problem in that in using the paste special on some links I created using HYPERLINK/VLOOKUP formulas the hyperlinks themselves have gone (ie nothing happens if you click on the data).
What I want is a macro that can turn a cell's contents into a hyperlink (i.e the location and friendly name are the same) by means of a simple keyboard stroke. I tried doing this using the macro recorder, but it didn't recognize when I was trying to paste the text into the Insert Hyperlink address bar and it just recalled the name of the address in the VBE window as if I'd written it in manually.
I have just started to learn how to use vba in microsoft excel. Over the past few days i have been creating a drawing register and have incorporated multiple routines based on searching this forum. Up until this point i have foud everything i needed on this forum, but now i cannot work out how to creat a routine that does the below.
The setup
*I have a folder called Zircon Plant
*That folder contains 3 folders 01. Superseded, 02. PDFs and 03. Documentation (the 01. Sup...etc. is the actual folder name, the 01, 02 and 03 isnt distinguishing the 3 folders)
*The Register is located in 03. Documentation
*The PDFs i want to hyperlink to are located in 02. PDFs
What i want to do
*i have 2000 rows of drawing names
*the drawing name in excel is spread over 5 side by side cells on each row (rows 21 - 2020) so for example the first row the information is in cells (H21, I21, J21, K21 ,L21)
*the cells i want to contain hyperlinks are V21 - V2020
so what i want is when excel opens up (i already have another script running at startup so i will be placing this after the other startup routine i have) i want it to search in folder 02. PDFs using the contents in (for example the first row (21) and colums HIJKL contain (H21)4CP(I21)-(J21)D(K21)-(L21)55000) each row and combine those cell contents to find the file name 4CP-D-55000.pdf. I then want it to go down every row until row 2020 untill it has added all pdfs.
(The second row is (H22)4CP(I221)-(J221)D(K221)-(L21)55001.....file name would be 4CP-D-55001.....third row would be 4CP-D-55002 etc...)
If such a pdf with that name doesnt exist, i want the cell (for example v21) to read "PDF not available"
based on a search here i have been able to do this for 1 cell, but dont want to do 2000 seperate routines. the current routine i have for it to work on one cell is
' Select PDF range
ActiveSheet.Range("u21").Select
' Promt PDF Hyperlinking
ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add ActiveCell, "I:DraftingAs Built4CP - PinkenbaE - ElectricallZircon Plant02. PDFs4CP-D-55000.pdf"
I also have multiple sheets. the first sheet is D - Documentation. I will eventually copy this routine 4 more times as i will be able to work out how to apply it to the other sheets
I receive a Weekly list; let’s call it “Doc1” with a load of order numbers in column A. I then have another excel document, lets call it “Doc2” also with order numbers in column B.
Is there a way to see if an order number in Doc1 already exists in Doc2; perhaps change the font colour to red for example (in Doc1 only)? I don’t want to affect Doc2 in any way I am not allowed to alter it at all.
I have several excel documents all linked to one unique excel document which I will call document A.
Document A is a performance spreadsheet where I have percentages, sales figures and times, for my sales team.
Each sales person has their own unique dashboard (another excel document) that I am currently trying to finalize.
Their personal dashboards have pie charts with text boxes. The text boxes within the charts link up to their relevant cells in document A.
When Document A is open and I open 1 of the sales person's dashboards. Everything looks good and works, however.
When I close document A the dashboard information changes. For example, the dashboard information could be showing 25% but when I close document A it reverts to 0.25
If I close down the dashboard and open document A back up, change it to 30% then close it. The dashboard recognizes the change BUT reads as 0.30. This is the same with them all.
The only fix I have figured out is creating another tab in Document A then duplicate of all the information required for the dashboards then save the cells as TEXT (as opposed to currency, percentage etc).
This kind of defeats the object because I have formulas set up in Document A and don't want to be doing twice the work.

Is there any code that can make it possible to navigate to my Documents Folder only that is on a network drive and open the folder but not a document.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have 330 lines of formula that all reference to different excel documents. These files are donated by a 4 digit number. i.e. 4186.xls.
The main document that looks at these files needs to ability to acknowledge changes in the 4 digit number in its formulas and look at a different file if necessary.
EG. =sum("4186.xls"!E4:E5)
A very simple example of the formula i am using. I just need to actively change the 4186 that is in the formula to whatever is in the contents of another cell.
I might just be stupid. Infact, i admit i am no expert. That was my first =SUM formula actually.
I have a template that I wish to distribute to others. It will link to a second file (also distributed by me) that will be in each users' "My documents" folder (or "Documents" in Vista). I currently have the template set to look at "C:" as that is common for everyone. Turns out that creates other problems. However, now each user's file location will be unique due to the path of their documents folder
Question, is there a robust way to automate the finding of the linked file in the template without having each user "relocate" it? Reason is the template will be updated frequently and I want to ease their pain by not making them go through this every time.
Is it possible to link excel document that will update each other? I am looking for the capabilities similiar to linking worksheets in a workbook.

I'm not exactly sure what to do. Unfortunately, I could not find what I needed on youtube
Error: It talks about the object being out of range and allows me to debug... the code that is in the developer is:

I was just wondering if its possible to create a Hyperlink to open a location with the link ref in another cell?
For example, If I created a shape (Insert > Shape) then assigned a hyperlink to lets say Sheet 2 cell A1 & in that cell the link to open My Documents?
Sheet 1: Shape (as a button)
Sheet 2: Cell A1 - C:UsersUSERNAMEDocuments
Then when I click the 'button' it doesn't go to Sheet 2 cell A1 it actually opens the documents?
