Hyperlinks To Other Worksheets Not Working
May 25, 2013
I 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.

Just need to delete some hyperlinks in column A on 50+ worksheets. Thought a loop through all the worksheets would do it. Only works on active sheet. Forgive my ignorance, don't really even know where it goes, once it works - module or workbook?

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?

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

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?

Using MS Excel 2010.
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 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.!

I have developed a template with tabs for Jan thru Dec, and a Template tab that has the report. the VB code copies the file as a new workbook whenever the year changes, creating something linke 07_Reports.xls. It also copies the "Template" to each Jan-ded tab and adds descriptive info to indicate that it is Jan or Feb etc. There are several sheets, and each has 3 or 4 different reports across the columss. each report has a month by month summary at the top,and daily details for each month down below, with each month detail beginning at 100 row intervals and having a row for each day of the month. i use the month names at the top as hyperlinks to jump to that month's detail.
when the file is created the hyperlinks are not copied from the template tab to each Jan-dec tab. Is there a way to have the Template tab use some type of Relative Reference.
If not is there a way to loop through the Template sheet and identify the properties of all the hyperlinks that exist on the sheet. I have over 30 of these Report templates, one for each Water Well that is involed in this project.
so..
1 - can hyperlinks be relative so that they copy and setup on different worksheets when copied.
2 - if not is there a way to read thru the rows/columns of the worksheet and identify which cells in the template have a hyperlink, get the properties of it, and have vb code create that in the crated tab worksheets.

I have 3 worksheets, 1st is called Rabbit Nov, the 2nd is called Badger Nov and the 3rd is called Tracking.
On the Tracking worksheet I am inputting the average scores taken from the other 2 worksheets.
So for instance on the tracking sheet I have E5=AVERAGE('Rabbit Nov'!E5:E21), then E6=AVERAGE('Rabbit Nov'!E22-37); E7=AVERAGE('Badger Nov'!E5-E18), E8=AVERAGE ('Badger Nov E19-E32)
So there are blocks of 2 Rabbit scores and then a block of 2 Badger scores.
What I want to know is, is there a quicker way of inputting the formulae or do I have to do cell by cell, as obviously automatically it doesn't work for this spreadsheet.

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

I'm getting a Run tim error 438 object doesn't support this property or method for the If ws line. All i'm trying to do is copy the A column results starting at A5 from each worksheet listed into the active worksheet starting at A128. hiding any blank cells or cells with errors (I.e. #N/A) would be great as well.

I have a workbook in excel 2003 which I had been running the following macros (listed below). We recently upgraded to Excel 07, and neither are working. When I try to run them, the "debug" option highlights the following line in the sort macro "Range("A2:z" & lastcell).Sort key1:=.Columns(1)". This is driving me crazy, as the macros worked perfectly under the older version of Microsoft. Is there an issue with crossfunctionality between '03 and '07'.
Private Sub Worksheet_change(ByVal target As Excel.Range)
If target.Column = 1 Then
ThisRow = target.Row
startRow = 1
i = 1
Set ws = ActiveSheet
maxRow = Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Row
maxCol = Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Column
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone

I have a spreadsheet that when an identity code is keyed in, it will display a make and model of a particular mobile phone, i want to put a hyperlink in the cell next to the phone name which will then open up an IE window to a website.
The thing i want ideally is if there is any way you can incorporate the websites search function into the hyperlink so when you click on it, the hyperlink will copy the phone details over to the website's search engine and take you straight to the online details of the phone?
wow this isnt making sense to me!
For e.g
The identity code shows up a Nokia 1500
The hyperlink next to it takes in the manufacturer/model details "nokia 5300" (these will obviously vary each time so takes in a cell reference should i say)
It opens up the ie window e.g "google" and automatically searches for that "nokia 5300" and comes up straight away with the search results.

Is there a way of using something like hyperlinks in VBA code to open a user form?
I presently am using hyperlinks for coworkers to open other pages that resemble a user form.
I would like to change this to actually using user forms.
I would prefer to simply click on a person's name and open the form.

I created a data base that had a hyperlink to a plan of the store so we can find parts easy. With a lot of help for people here on this web site, it works very well.
My only problem now is that I sorted my Database by the hyperlink column. It made it easy to do one hyperlink and pull the fill handle down for the rest of the same hyperlink reference.
When I went to resort the database so that the parts were in alphabetical order. The sort worked well except that the hyperlink for lets say cell F87 was not sorted. Example : - F87 hyper link presort had the reference to Rack 10 self B. Post sort it had the reference to Rack 16 shelf C. But when clicked on it still took you to Rack 10 self B.

When I click on a hyperlink inside an Excel spreadsheet, it is linked to a PDF file. When clicked, the screen flashes the Adobe Acrobat program for a split second and then disappears. But I can open the hyperlink same as which it is linked to a word file in the same directory.
I have gone into folder options and switched the PDF to open with Adobe reader 8, but that does nothing.
Any ideas of how to get the PDF to open and stay open would be most appreciated.
I tried to install adobe reader 4.0 without uninstall adobe 7.0 professional.
I use pdf reader 4.0 open the Pdf file in the window explorer, and then go to excel, open the same hypelink pdf file, and find it works now only opening pdf document by pdf reader 4.0 but not by 7.0.
But when I resinstall adobe 7.0 professional, and the problem still occurs. I have to open the original pdf file in the directory by adobe reader 4.0 again.
My case is like the following Macro in excel.
Setup hyperlink and open it . Then the problem is shown as my previous thread mentioned.

I have a database of two columns - a file name and a hyperlink for the folder path to that form. What I would like to do is a VLOOKUP type search by the form name and the result be the hyperlink itself. The problem is that vlookup basically provides a "Values Only" response and doesn't carry over the hyperlink format.

I made the mistake of creating hyperlinks to files on a server (using the \SERVERNAME convention) without using the "hyperlink base" option.
I've been sufficiently chastened, but the present problem is that I have many such hyperlinks that are now worthless because, when saved, they point to "../../[foldername1]/[foldername2]/[filename]", etc.
Need macro that would replace the first five characters ("../..") of all the hyperlinks on my sheet with //[MYSERVERNAME] ?

how to use a combo box to select hyperlinks to take you off to the selected website? I have this, which works but it's hard-coded - I'm looking for something a little more dynamic, i.e. pick up hyperlinks from a range on a sheet.

Have the following dilemma in Excel: If I enter a value in cell A3 and the value corresponds to a reference value in one of cells B4:B12, can I hyperlink data in cell range C4: C8 to elsewhere on the sheet (eg J4: J8).
Example.
I have 8 meeting rooms that each have a dedicated code, AU, BR, FOR, TO, M1, M2, M3, M4
When I enter a code in cell A3, (eg AU) I want the data in cells A4: A8 (date, start, end, event) to be reproduced in another table on the sheet.
In other words: If A3 is equivalent to a value in cells B4: B12, then can data in C4:C8 be reproduced in J4: J8?

I'm trying to build a workbook that has a drop down box with 5 options. I want to be able to select an option out of the drop down menu, and have about 5 cells populate on that same sheet based on the what I select in the drop down box. I used Data Validation and List to make my drop down box, so that part is no problem. I can use an if statement to populate cells with names based on what I choose in the drop down box, so that's not really my problem either. The problem I have is that I was to make each name that populates based on what I select in the drop down box to be a hyperlink to a separate sheet within the same workbook.
I need these hyperlinks to go to different sheets based on what I choose from the drop down box. To tell you exactly what I'm doing: I have 5 locations. Each location has 3 to 5 supervisors. Each supervisors has 6 to 8 laborers under them. I want to have a drop down box with my location names. When I choose a location, I want to see the names of the supervisors at that location populate. I then want to be able to click on the name of the supervisor and have a hyperlink to a different page within that workbook to tell me data on the laborers under the supervisor..

Is there anyway in VBA, that if a hyperlink is clicked on in the spreadsheet that it won't follow the link?
I need it to be a link in every other respect because I will be parsing the Text to Display, and utilizing the links address. I just would like to not have the link be clickable on the spreadsheet.

I have a workbook with 32 sheets. The first 31 sheets are hyperlinked to the 32nd sheet, which holds the summary from the other 31 sheets. Now, if I am in Sheet7 and click on the hyperlink in sheet7, it will take me to the summary sheet. That part is OK. But I want to know is it possible to go back to the sheet from where I reached the summary sheet (in this case sheet7 itself) with hyperlinks.

I am working on a database for a client. The database has a few worksheets with an overview (contents) worksheet. What I am trying to do is create a hyperlink from the contents page to the corresponding worksheet. I can do this no problem...my problem is that if I add more data to the worksheet the hyperlink is lost. I am linking the sheets via cells so if a cell is moved down to add a new cell the hyperlink is no longer valid. Is there a rule I can create to keep the hyperlink and not have to adjust it every time new data is added.

I have a database in excel. Each row in my database is usable information that has a link to Word files on our server and the database is saved on the server.
Whenever I move the original file which is on the server anywhere it causes all the hyperlinks to change. I have saved it on my desktop then moved it, and it still changes my hyperlinks. I don't understand why my hyperlinks don't just stay they way I created them.
Is there a way to keep my hyperlinks from changing? If you notice the immediate folder of the filename doesn't change.
Example:
Original hyperlink:
//server/reports/filename
Changed hyperlink:
C:/document and settings/user/microsoft/reports/filename
