cell c3 holds the hyperlink, how would i get the macro to follow it
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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I use the following to try to access a secure website ( https )
ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:=Hyperlink, NewWindow:=False
Where hyperlink is a string that is valid. ( i tested by doing a cut and paste to the browser and it works ! ) When i launch the macro, it always bring me to the login screen. But if i do a cut and paste, it will bring me direct to the content i want.
I have a worksheet with several data validation dropdowns that each link to a series of hyperlinks. When you click the dropdown and select the hyperlink, it opens up that particular file. All of these work, except for one of the dropdowns. Even though I can see and select the names, the link is NOT activated.
Is there some obscure excel feature that I am not aware of that is preventing this one from working? Why would this be?

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 have tried numerous versions of macros I found. Most get the same error of; Range object error or script error.
Here is the formula: VLOOKUP(C$13,VESSELS_DATA,ROW(30:30)-12)
What I would like to do:
1) double click to on the cell with the formula
2) goto the worksheet "DATA_TABLES" that contains the Named Range "VESSELS_DATA"
3) go down the rows until the c13 is matched
4) offset column the same as in the above formula "Row(30:30)-12"
I have three columns:
Column A: Old Value
Column B: New Value
Column C: Cell address of the old value, which is on a different worksheet. For example: Sheet1!$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
Repeat for row 3 and so on, going down 100 rows in total.
Should I make the addresses in column C hyperlinks and follow the hyperlinks somehow?
I have this code that looks through my worksheet once the conditions are met it will email, and in column "M" I put a hyperlink to where the document is stored. All works as far as the email format, even grabs the hyperlink but it’s not clickable in the email.
Here is the code.

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.
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 would like to sort the rows but the pictures don't all follow their rows.
The pictures are just images I Inserted into the first cells.
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.
Attached is a sample worksheet. I have data in column A that I want to drag fill in column C. In column C, once the first 2 results in column A are entered, I would like a blank cell and so on.

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.

I have hyperlinks betwene one worksheet to another - they only only hyperlinked thourh column & rows (eg: A100) etc. How can I lock these hyperlinks but still allow users to insert new rows without losing their place?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having a slight problem copying hyperlinks. I have written some code that sorts data by date and then creates a simple diary. It originally placed the name of the event in the new diary sheet. What I would like to do is instead of copying the name into this new sheet copy a hyperlink that I have created to the company's website for that event.
I can create the hyperlink using hyperlink(B1,A1) where A1 is the company name and B1 is the web address but since the new sheet will not have the underlying data I need to actually copy the values and format of the hyperlink rather than the formula.
I have a table which says that this is the amount of coloured cells we have in another sheet.
For e.g.
Field Name Code A
Item Description 5
Now, the item description column has 5 cells in another sheet which are filled in with "Yellow" Colour. So what i want to do is to click on this 5 in sheet 2 in this case as per the attached sample which takes me to the filtered result on sheet1 of 5 yellow coloured cells under the column of Item description including an additional filter of Code "A"
I have a hyperlink cell. Straightforward copying and pasting it to another cell works well, with the new cell replicating the hyperlink. However, if I try to copy the hyperlink cell to a range of cells (say B1 to B5), at first it looks ok, but once I click one of them, it appears they are all clicked. And if I delete one of the cells in the range, say B3, ALL cells within that range loses its hyperlink. It looks like all of these hyperlinks are referencing one another, but once I delete one cell, the rest loses its hyperlink (the words are still there). At the current time, I have to copy into the range individually (copy to B1, then B2, then B3...etc), but this becomes a hassle if I have a large range.

I have a number of sheets with a "target" cell in specified rows that contains text and a hyperlink to a file (JPG or GIF). I need to modify the filename and pathname according to other values in other cells, then update the target cell text and hyperlink.
So far i have the old filename, path and hyperlink A also have the new filename, path and hyperlink And, i can set the target cell new text.
But how do I set the new hyperlink? I've tried variations on the theme of Range.Hyperlinks(1).Add Address = newHL but nothing seems to work - run time error 438.
How I set the new hyperlink?
I have got a hyperlink in cell A4 (see code below)
=HYPERLINK("mailto:Global_outbound_reporting?subject=" &A1,"Mail me")
(reason for subject being a cell is because it changes with time - part of a bigger macro). If I click this manually it loads the e-mail perfectly but I want it so that user doesnt have to click it and it runs upon click of an earlier button.
When a click a picture to follow a hyperlink, I want it to enter a value into the destination cell. Is there any way to do this?
