I have a Master sheet with data on it that corresponds with multiple sheets in the same workbook that I have links to in the Master sheet. It all works fine until I sort the Master and then my links start sending me to the wrong worksheet.
Is it just the nature of hyperlinks that you can't sort, or is something else going on here?
I have a workbook that is now up to 40+ sheets. I'm adding a contents sheet to aid navigation around the workbook.
Every detail page now has a hyperlink inserted called "Home" that simply refers back to the contents sheet and takes me to the contents sheet when I click the link. So far so good.
On the contents sheet, I'll have 40 hyperlinks, each referring to a sheet in the workbook. I want each one to have the name of the sheet displayed, so if my sheets are called sheet1, sheet2, sheet3, etc. then the text displayed on the hyperlinks on the contents sheet are also sheet1, sheet2, sheet3, etc. That's easy as I can just type the sheet name in the "text to display" field in the Insert Hyperlink dialog.
Here's the tough bit.
The names of my sheets change regularly; I want the text displayed for the hyperlink to change automatically so that if sheet3 is renamed to sheet33, the text displayed for the hyperlink also changes to sheet33. Is there a formula that just returns the name of a referenced sheet?

The following is a simplified example of my problem: I have a list of product item numbers in column A. Next to each item number in column B, is a hyperlink to a PDF file relevant to each item. Elsewhere in the sheet, is a drop down box containing the item numbers. Next to the drop down box is a HYPERLINK(VLOOKUP) that fetches the relevant hyperlink depending upon the selected item in the drop down box. Problem is, when I select the ‘lookup’ link, I get an error message ‘cannot open the specified file’ (the original Hyperlink works fine). Does anyone have a solution to this problem (preferably without resorting to Visual Basic?
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet with with links to other workbooks. This has been working fine but a few days ago stopped working. I am getting a pop-up box.
An example of this is : Opening C:Business300635 Invoice.xlsm.
Some files can contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your computer. It is important to be certain that this file is from a trustworthy source. Would you like to open this file? Yes or No.
When i click on Yes the busy icon appears for about 2 minutes and then disappears, not opening the file. I have tried to get this solved by going to Microsoft site for any possible clues. no luck there. I have uninstalled all updates to Microsoft and Excel to a point prior to the problem occurring, but to no avail. I can access the workbook I need to open by clicking the Office Button, and then searching for the relevant workbook.
The hyperlink formula I am using is " =HYPERLINK("C:Business"&P546&" Invoice.xlsm", "Invoice") ". The "&P546&" refers to the invoice number listed elsewhere in the worksheet.
Trying to create a hyperlink in a worksheet to a new file saved under the name from the calling cell.
The file saveas function works great, but I cannot get the hyperlink to function correctly, and I've tried several ways.
The only way I can get a hyperlink to work and continually function is by manually creating it in the spreadsheet.
sub newjobcard()
FNAME = ActiveCell.Value
ActiveCell.Next.Select
ActiveCell.Formula = ("=HYPERLINK("y:FNAME" & ".XLS", FNAME)")
Workbooks.Add Template:= _
"Z:Peters computerPeters work FilesWTE FILESORIGINALS TEMPLATESJob Card.xls"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="y:" & FNAME & ".xls"
End Sub

As I understand it hyperlinks set in a spreadsheet should work regardless of where you save and/or copy the spreadsheet i.e. as long as the directory location of the location / file the hyperlink is referencing doesn't change (notwithstanding, the user must have appropriate access rights to the relevant directory locations)
However, the situation I have is the spreadsheet was generated and saved to directory location A (intention being this would be the 'master' yearly template) and the hyperlinks set, all of which work when you open the spreadsheet in this directory location. But when I copy the spreadsheet to directory location B, which is intended to be the yearly 'register' location for the spreadsheet, none of the hyperlinks work? When I hold my cursor over a link in the copied spreadsheet, in directory B, I do not get a 'pop-up' path like I do in directory A and when I click a link I get an error message:
Microsoft Excel The address of this site is not valid. Check the address and try again.
As stated above the documents the hyperlinks relate to have not moved, they remain in the same template directory (i.e. the link path has not altered).
I have a spreadsheet with about 300 rows and columns up to AB. Is it possible to stop the page to scroll beyond the 300 rows and AB columns.

I have wrote a simple macro/ function that used to work before I decided to improve it. When I run the macro, I can step F8 until the before last line in the following code
Function bla() As Boolean
Set rCell = Cells(1, 1)
If rCell.Value <> "" Then
x = rCell.Value * 0.02 'Works
rCell.Value = rCell.Value - x 'Doesn't work
End If
bla = False
End Function
Excel does stop running the macro, but it doesn't show any error so I don't know what to fix.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create new Excel document
2. Type any number in the very first cell
3. Open VBA, add module and copy above function
4. Type in another cell "=bla()"

I'm working on a sheet which references a sheet in another workbook. I want to refer to the other workbook simply by it's filename (Forecast.xls) but whenever I save and reopen Excel has replaced the filename with the full path (C:Documents and SettingskoconnorMy DocumentsAuto-sheet project[Forecast.xls])
This is quite inconvinient as I am eventually going to want to move both workbooks together to a different location. Is there a way to make Excel stop working out full file paths and just look for the filename in whichever folder the active sheet is sitting in?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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
my excel sheet runs through a lot of calculations, opens Flowmaster, a simulations program, passes on data, receivs data and so on. Is there any way to have a user input to stop the whole simulation.

When it is sorted by ascending and next time when they click header I want it to be sorted by descending.

If know the order in which it is sorted currently then I will sort it in the opposite way..
I have a data set of about 600 records. I want to be able to extract the Top 10% of the records and get rid of the other 90% - the values can change over time, so I always want to start with the full 600 records.
I am aware of the conditional formatting function that will identify the Top 10%, but I was looking for VBA language (does not have to be VBA - just automated), that calculated the 10% subset and either moved it to a different sheet, OR deleted the bottom 90% - in either instance the result being just the list of the top 10% of the data set.
I have a list of entries on one sheet. This sheet contains part numbers in random order. I would like to draw out the part numbers onto a new sheet, with no repeats and in numerical order. I want this to be done automatically without using a sort command. Also, I would like to avoid VBA if possible.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a sheet that changes the number of columns based on data from other sheets. This is the only sheet in the workbook that I will print out every day. I have it set right now to fit all columns on one page, however sometimes this will result in the bottom 1/3rd of the sheet not being used. If I use fit all rows on one page, then some of the columns will get cut off. Is there a way to scale in both directions? My guess is there is not, but I thought I would ask because it would work great for me if I could.
