Hyperlinks - Keeping Link With Data Not With Cell

Mar 7, 2014

I have a spreadsheet that I have various formulas and sheets. To simplify:

Sheet 1: Columns A & B have Name and Code Number. I can add additional names and code numbers to these two columns whenever necessary.

Example:

Tom 874
John 385
David 712

Hidden in adjoining columns are formulas to automatically sort them via Code Number. Next to that are the columns showing the sorted information, sorted by number.

John 385
David 712
Tom 874

Additionally, I have a seperate sheet for Tom, John & David. Since I put Tom in first, he's Sheet 2. John is Sheet 3, and David is Sheet 4. I can use hyperlinks so when I click on John, it goes to Sheet 3; David Sheet 4; Tom Sheet 2.

Now, let's say I add Kevin 192 to the next row. The hidden columns are set up so that it'll automatically resort Kevin to the top, with John, David & Tom in the next rows down.

The issue I have with the hyperlink is that it's cell specific, not content specific, as far as I know. I would like the hyperlink to move with John's info so that it would still go to Sheet 3. Same with David and Tom. Unfortunately, after the resort, If I clicked on Kevin's name (which is now at the top of the list), it would go to John's sheet, since the hyperlink is attached to that cell.

How to allow a hyperlink to remain with the content, versus the cell? I would prefer it to be not a macro, but I'll take a macro over nothing!

Add Hyperlinks To Range & Link Based On Cell Value

Apr 29, 2008

I have a spreadsheet of various works-in-progress items, the first three columns of which refer to relevant documents, effectively the request, the estimate and the work order, i.e. RXXX-0001, EXXX-0001 & WXXX-0001.

So the text is entered as above (without file extension as it's also our reference number), and I'd like each to be linked to their respecive .doc files, which are held in different locations, i.e. \servernamefolderRequests or Estimates or Work Orders
e.g. \servernamefolderRequestsRXXX-0001.doc

There's a backlog of over 300 items (so 900 links) so I don't want to go through and manually create the links and as each day can see over 12 items being created it'd be much easier to have it done at the click of a button

Most of the solutions I've seen involve creating a new cell/button with the hyperlink in it - I just want to effectively "right click, create hyperlink" but with the cell contents inserted as the file name (adding ".doc") and with correct folder name too.

FYI the cells are adjacent to one another e.g. A1, A2 & A3 so the selection can be Offset (0,1) for the estimates and work orders.

I don't mind if it ends up being a case of running the macro on each line - some links have already been created already.

Keeping Hyperlinks After Transpose

Aug 15, 2014

How can I get this macro to run without removing the hyperlinks from the 1st line of each group?

Sub Transpose()
sn = Sheets("sheet1").UsedRange.Columns(1).Resize(, 4)

For J = 1 To UBound(sn)
sn((J - 1) UBound(sn, 2) + 1, (J - 1) Mod UBound(sn, 2) + 1) = sn(J, 1)
Next

Sheets("sheet2").Cells(1).Resize(UBound(sn) UBound(sn, 2) + 1, UBound(sn, 2)) = sn
End Sub

Hyperlinks Link To Other Worksheets

Nov 25, 2009

I have managed to find some code which, upon pressing a command button on the 1st worksheet in my workbook it:

1. populates a list of the names of all the other sheets in the document
2. converts each name into a hyperlink that when clicked, opens the sheet. (or at least it should)
3. Add the word 'menu' in cell A1 of each sheet that is a hyperlink back to the menu sheet

There are around 40 sheets in the document so you can see why this is easier than scrolling along the bottom to find the correct one. Or it should be.!

Extracting Hyperlinks From An Image Link

May 16, 2008

I have copied and pasted a big table to excel. All the images have links and I need to extract that URL and post on it's own cell.

I have tried some hyperlink extracting code but I realized the images are not necessarily in a cell.

Is there a way to do this?

and by the way, is the a way to make the images show? I know they are there but they don't show.

Keeping Cell Formatting When Copying Data

Oct 28, 2013

I have a piece of code that runs through various excel files and takes the data (minus the header) and pastes that into a separate workbook. The piece of code that does the actual copying i think is this (i have used code from the msdn website)

Code:
With sourceRange
Set destrange = destrange. _
Resize(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count)
End With
destrange.Value = sourceRange.Value

I have tried replacing the sourceRange.Value with sourceRange.Text however when i do that it will copy nothing any more.

Formula That Uses Link In A Cell To Create Offset Link

Jun 28, 2013

I have two worksheets, one with detail monthly information and one with YTD information. So let's say the three numbers I want to capture in the YTD sheet are in columns B, G and I on the monthly sheet. January's data might be in B5, G5 and I5. February's data is in B12, G12 and I12 and so on.

On the YTD sheet in cell C2 I link to Monthly!B5 and in C3 I link to Monthly!B12 so cells C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet show the monthly totals from column B on the detail sheet. On the YTD sheet, cells C20 to C31 show the monthly totals from column G on the monthly sheet, so cells G5, G12, etc. And finally, cells C40 to C51 on the YTD sheet show monthly totals form column I on the monthly sheet.

In the past I've always created all these links manually. After creating the links in C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet, is there a way to use a formula in C21 that uses the link in C2 to create a link for G5?

Link Formula: Use Cell Data As Workbook Name

Oct 24, 2006

If I have a two files called test1.xls and test2.xls for example. Is it possible to link test1.xls to test2.xls by putting the filename in a cell?

i.e. In test2 put the filename in say A1 and in the link put the path and instead of naming the file you want to link to put in A1 instead.

I know it doesn't work if you do it that way I was just wondering if there was a way to do it.

Keeping Track Of Data Over Time Even If The Data Is No Longer Visible?

May 20, 2013

I work in a medical facility, and I need to track data I've entered representing patient visits indefinitely over time. I've attached a weekly grid to this thread that I use to record which patients have had visits during the course of the week. It sums their total visits on the right. I need to continually track these because every patient gets an insurance-mandated progress update after 10 visits. Unfortunately, they don't always show up, and the most I can possibly keep track of is two weeks, max, and most patients only get two visits per week. Is there a way to dump these sums into another column indefinitely?

Link Cell From 1 Sheet To Another: Pull Data Based On Time

Oct 17, 2006

I'm trying to make a floor plan which shows what seats are available depending on the time it is. So I made sheet1 = to the map (where the seats are located), sheet2 - rows = seat #'s, columns = Time (broken down by half hours). Now i have conditional format to show "t" in red (which means taken), "f" in blue (which means free), and "n" to show in gray (which means not working).

What i need is example - Seat # 200 in sheet 1 to show red, blue, or gray depending on the value in the row that corespond to this seat and the column that corespond to the current time.

Macro Create A Hyper Link Once Data Is Entered Into Specific Cell

Aug 17, 2009

Is it possible to have a macro create a hyper link once data is entered into specific cell, i have a multi sheet work book used as a stock card system.

Each stock item has its own worksheet and the product code is entered in to cell E3
(which in turn has a macro in it to change the sheet name to match the product code).

the macro also inserts a row of info into row 5 of another sheet used as a summary sheet ( CONTROL.SHEET or SHEET 4) using copy and paste link.

i need a macro to generate a hyperlink in cell D4 of the control sheet between the row info and the matching product code sheet ( the product code is displayed in cell E4 of the control sheet.

I only input one item at a time and then manually cut and insert the row info into the stock list on control sheet. so every time i input a new item, the row info is always in row 5 of the control sheet.

Explicit Hyperlinks, Relative Hyperlinks

Feb 21, 2007

I 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

Keeping Data Together While Adding Information?

Feb 23, 2013

I have two excel sheets in the same workbook. I've linked column B2 in Sheet1 with column A1 in Sheet2. It works great!

The only problem is that when I add a row in Sheet1, it appears in Sheet2, but the rest of the data on that sheet doesn't move alongside the rest of the rows. So if Sheet2 looks like this:

Abby 16
Amy 15
Jenna 14

And I add in another name in Sheet1, lets say Ben, then Sheet2 will look like this.

Abby 16
Amy 15
Ben 14
Jenna

when I want all my data to stick together.

Merging Two Columns And Keeping The Data From Both

Jul 26, 2006

There is one crucial feature to the 2007 Excel that has been overlooked.

Throughout all versions of Excel there has always been the feature of
converting text to table, however there is no way to do this in reverse.

There is no way to merge two columns of data and to keep all of the data
without one column overwriting the other. If only there were an automatic
way to merge two columns of data and to be able to place a delimited
character in-between, just like the “Convert Text to Columns Wizard”, except
in reverse. Currently, the only way to merge two columns of data is to
manually go row-by-row and cut and paste them together. However, for 500,000
rows of data… this is impossible. Or to use a function to merge two columns,
however this requires that the original two columns remain. This is also
unacceptable. If Microsoft really wants to make Excel more functional, how
can this vast improvement be overlooked?

Always Keeping Character In Cell?

Jan 31, 2013

I'm using the hidden-row trick to auto-fill cells beneath the hidden rows.

For this to work, every cell that is to be auto-filled in must have a character in every cell above it.

How can I make sure that my unfilled cells always have a character in them? If a user deletes the contents of the cell, I want a single character to stay in the cell (I want a backslash). This way, there will always be either a backslash, or the user-filled data in the cell. It can never be empty.

Keeping Cells Waiting For New Data To Not Be Read As Zero Or Be Ranked

Aug 7, 2013

I am trying to rank a series of data. I have most of this figured out. However, the data that is being ranked is based on a sum of a range of cells. I have lines that are waiting for new information to be put in related to the values to be ranked and the value is reference a sum of blank cells currently since there is no data there and it is showing up as zero and therefore being ranked number 1 in my list. I basically want the ranking to rank the values 1-11 while putting all values that are zero to be put at the bottom of the ranking. Any way to do this without macros. I have been using the VLOOKUP and RANK functions for my ranking purposes.

I have tried using an if statement that made the cells #N/A if they were zero, however they remained at the top of my ranking.

Merging Duplicate Rows And Keeping Original Data

Feb 18, 2014

I need to merge rows with duplicate values in column A (Patient Name being the most important one), with columns B, C, & D usually having different isolated values as well. Columns E, F, G, H, & I are date columns, but the data is always going to be the number 1, meaning a patient was seen once that day (if they were seen two times that day for different reasons, information would be in an unmerged second row [same patient name listed in two separate rows], where columns B & C would be different). Column J is an autosum of columns E through I if that makes a difference. Column K is a notes column. The data that needs to be merged is always added to the bottom of the spreadsheet in order to show that a patient was seen on any given day, with columns B through K almost always being blank. Example:

Column A---------Column B---Col C----Col D--Col E--Col F--Col G--Col H--Col I--Col J---------Col K
Patient Name-----Therapist---Shared--%P----2/3----2/4----2/5-----2/6----2/7---Total Visits--Notes

Alice Alpha--------AB----------PT-------1---------------------------------------------0-------------blah
Boris Beta---------BC----------SELF----2----------------------------------------------0------------blahblah
Carl Carlisle-------CD---------PTA------3----------------------------------------------0
Carl Carlisle-------AB---------SELF-----2----------------------------------------------0
Donny Delta-------DE---------PT--------1---------------------------------------------0
Ernie Elephant-----EF---------PTA-------2---------------------------------------------0
Alice Alpha-----------------------------------------------1
Carl Carlisle--------------------------------------1--------------1---------------1
Ernie Elephant-------------------------------------------1---------------1

This is what I'm hoping it can look like:

Column A---------Column B---Col C----Col D--Col E--Col F--Col G--Col H--Col I--Col J---------Col K
Patient Name-----Therapist---Shared--%P----2/3----2/4----2/5-----2/6----2/7---Total Visits--Notes

Alice Alpha--------AB----------PT-------1---------------1-----------------------------1-------------blah
Boris Beta---------BC----------SELF----2----------------------------------------------0------------blahblah
Carl Carlisle-------CD---------PTA------3-------1--------------1---------------1------3
Carl Carlisle-------AB---------SELF-----2----------------------------------------------0
Donny Delta-------DE---------PT--------1---------------------------------------------0
Ernie Elephant-----EF---------PTA-------2--------------1---------------1-------------2

In this example Carl Carlisle is being seen for two different things, however how would it be written so the macro would know which Carl Carlisle row to merge with? I'm thinking that before running the macro I could manually enter the information into column B so it knows which Carl Carlisle row above to merge with.

Data always starts at row 14 (row 13 is frozen pane header column), and extends to a row that is different every week depending on how many people happen to be in the list.

I found something from this link that looks very similar to what I need, but with no knowledge of coding, I have no idea how it should be tweaked: Merge Duplicate Rows Keeping Data In Same Columns

I know I'm asking a lot, but the amount of time this takes to manually go through hundreds of rows of patient names every week is incredibly time consuming, and I have too many other things to stay on top of at work for this to drag me down day in and day out.

It results with the pure text of the Hyperlink (can not be clicked).

Data Validation On Hyperlinks ...

Jul 5, 2006

how can I use a list of "HOT" Hyperlinks un a Data Validation Cell because upon picking up an item in that cell actually DID NOTHING (didn't transfer me to the required page).

It was regarding Mail addresses and/or URLs.

I got as an answer - to choose that cell > press [F2] > [ENTER].

This was fine and works very well.

Now, I tried the same "trick" on something very similar.

Instead of Hot "Outside" Hyperlinks - I defined links to some cells IN THE SAME SHEET (Cells A1: A5).

Cell C3 is declared as Data Validation from the 'List' A1:A5.

(Pls take a look at the attched picture)

Unfortunately, I did not managed to be able to choose on of the links and to be transferred to the correct cell.

In fact, choosing an Item DOES NOTHING.
