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 am attempting to write an Excel macro that will be stored in a file called MacroFile. The purpose of the macro is to
1. Follow a hyperlink to an Excel file saved in a SharePoint type enviroment
2. Save the file to my laptop directory My Documents.
Below is the code I have written. The code is following the hyperlink and saving a file but is the focus file is incorrect.
Here is what happens:
1. Open up MacroFile and run macro
2. Hyperlinked file LinkedFile_1.xls is opened
3. File NewFile_1 is saved but contains the info from MacroFile
4. Hyperlinked file LinkedFile_2.xls is opened
5. File NewFile_2 is saved but contains the info from LinkedFile_1
6. Hyperlinked file LinkedFile_3.xls is opened
7. File NewFile_3 is saved but contains the info from LinkedFile_2
The files created are named correctly but have the wrong data in them. I need to know how to control which file is considered ActiveWorkbook.

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 have hyperlinks set up in a spreadsheet. I want something to happen once I click the hyperlink, like go to another cell, color the cell, put a value in it. Whatever. I just can't figure out how to do anything like that. Is there VBA that could determine if the active cell hyperlink has been clicked? Like by checking the text color maybe or something like that? Let's say for simplicity sake, I just want to put a 1 in the cell next to the cell with the hyperlink I just clicked.

how would I, with a macro, follow a hyperlink in a cell.
cell c3 holds the hyperlink, how would i get the macro to follow it
I 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.
A1/A2 is Monday, A3/A4 is Tuesday, A5/A6 is Wednesday, A7/A8 is Thursday, A9/A10 is Friday, A11/A12 is Saturday, A13/A14 is Sunday. A15/A16 os Totals. Each of the two cells are merged to hold the heading.
B1 is Plan, B2 is Actual, B3 is Plan, B4 is Actual, B5 is Plan, B6 is actual and so on.
Here is the problem:
The formula suggested was =SUM(A2:G2)/COUNT(A2:G2) which was fine when I only had the one column for "Plan", but now I have added a second column for "Actual" next to each "Plan" but I still need a formula that will add every second cell and average it out allowing for the odd time that one of the cells could contain text indicating a holiday and therefor be one less day with data and require to be divided by 6 instead of 7 for example to get the average.
does anyone know of a way to amend this to add the cell to a range say "All_blue" to then copy and paste special values.

I'm trying to create an auto fill pattern to match B4-M4 then repeat with B5-M5 and continue to 350.
So for example, I'd like to manually enter "B4,C4,D4,E4,F4,G4,H4,I4,J4,K4,L4,M4,B5,C5,D5,E5,F5,G5,H5,I5,J5,K5,L5,M5" into column A and drag the auto fill box down until I've repeated the pattern to match all the way to M350.
Is this possible? I tried just entering the pattern as I've posted and dragging the auto fill down, but it doesn't fill the numbers properly and ends up with a strange pattern.
I am using a bar code gun to enter numbers. There are two bar codes on each item that I am scanning requiring two columns for each item. Right now I squeeze the trigger and the number pops up into the currently active cell. Then I use the arrow key to move over one cell and squeeze the trigger for the next number. Then Down arrow following with a left arrow to move the highlighted cell down one line back to the first column. Kind of inefficient because although repetitive there is room for errors on my part.
Is there a way to make it that every time I press the space bar or some other key that excel highlights a cell following my desired pattern? At least for the time that I am using the bar code gun? Making it so pressing the space bar would advance the selected cell over, then down and left, then over, then down and left, alternating with each press following that pattern ad infinitum. I have to scan hundreds of these babies.
Would this be difficult? I’m not the programming type. Any help would be greatly appreciated. At least I no longer have to manually type each number in. That was a real bummer.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have three columns:
Column A: Old Value
Column B: New Value
Column C: Cell address of the old value, which is on a different worksheet. For example: Sheet1!$A$1
What I'm trying to accomplish with a macro/VBA is:
Copy the new value from cell B2
Paste the value into the cell address listed in cell C2

Should I make the addresses in column C hyperlinks and follow the hyperlinks somehow?
I have two sheets.
On sheet one (named Master) I have:
Apples
Cantaloupes
Bananas
On sheet two (named Customer) I have the following formulas
='Master'!A1
='Master'!A2
='Master'!A3
Now, if I install a filter in the Master sheet, and sort alphabetically the link formulas on sheet two remain the same, and because of that, in sheet two they would be in alphabetical order as well. BUT what if I wanted the links on sheet two to follow the actual cell in the master sheet, so that even after a sort, the links on sheet 2 would show the same values, so the formulas on sheet two would end up looking like this (DESPITE being sorted on the master sheet)
='Master'!A1
='Master'!A3
='Master'!A2
Basically I would want the linked cells on sheet 2 to represent a static value no matter where it was moved to on the static sheet.
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 need returning a working hyperlink from a vlookup. I have a table with part #'s and hyperlinks. On another tab I want to type in a part number, have it search the table and return the working hyperlink. This will allow the user to just click it and go to that tab.
Here is my example spreadsheet : Book1.xlsm
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.

Any ideas of how to get the PDF to open and stay open would be most appreciated.

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 database of two columns - a file name and a hyperlink for the folder path to that form.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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] ?
