The <&Y3&> is were I would like the value of cell y2 to populate.

I wondered if it would be possible to copy the url from the active page from my browser into Excel using VBA (using a private sub). Something like:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim url As String
'url = the url from my active tab in my browser
If Target.Column = 1 And Not IsEmpty(Target) Then
Target.Offset(, 1).Value = url
End If
End Sub
where e.g. the active url in my browser is http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=10.
I have a workbook with 100 worksheets, and one TOC (table of contents) sheet. The TOC sheet is full of hyperlinks, linking to specific places in the workbook, and all other worksheets have a link that take it back to TOC sheet, selecting the cell that would link back to the sheet I just came from.
When I insert a new row, say above row 18, the links in all sheets that point to anything below row 18, point to a wrong cell now. Anything that pointed to A26 will continue to point to A26, but because of the row I inserted, the cell it should be linked to is now cell A27.
Is there a way to insert a row, and have all hyperlinks in the workbook adjust accordingly?
I want to put a hyperlink into an existing spreadsheet (which already has some hyperlinks in) but for some reason that option is now greyed out on my tool bar.

with the following: The VBA macro I am using, is derived from the excellent "Table of Contents" macro written by Erik Van Geit, a few years ago.
I have a workbook (in Excel 2007, Windows XP) with an Index sheet and 200 other sheets (called ScreenShot1 to ScreenShot200). Each of these 200 sheets has had an image pasted in the top left corner.
At present, using the macro below, a hyperlink is placed in cell A1 on each of these 200 sheets (it's behind the image) that links to cell M1 on the Index sheet. What I would like this macro to do is make each image the hyperlink back to cell M1 on the Index sheet. Please note that the images are not named.
VBA code below,
Sub create_TOC()
Dim i As Integer

when I link cells from one file to another and insert a new line on the file I am linking to. the file that is linking goes down as follows:
=Safety.xls!$A$5
=Safety.xls!$A$6
How do I get Cell A5, to link to Cell A5 even if I add a new line in the Safety.xls spreadsheet. Taking the $ away does not work I have tried that.
I want to add hyperlinks to certain cells using drag and drop. I've got a userform with a toolbar that I use as a drop zone for files (called tbDrop). In the userform, below the dropzone is a label called "label2"
The dragging and dropping works as a charm, label2 shows me the file location and adds it as a hyperlink to the cell.
However, when I click the hyperlink the file can't be opened.
I've used the result string, added it manually as a hyperlink and recorded it. That worked, but i saw no difference in the recorded macro.
VB:
Private Sub tbDrop_OLEDragDrop(Data As MSComctlLib.DataObject, Effect As Long, Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
Label2.Caption = ""
Dim a As String

I created a hyperlink to a .PDF and it works when I test it. However, when I save the file, go in later, and select the hyper link I am met with a 'Cannot open the specified file' message.
I have had this prior in Excel. The hyperlink works fine in Outlook, Word, and Access...
When you click on Cell C5 (which will say "ADD") I would Like the (Computer Browse Menu) to appear
you can then search for the file and press Attach
This will then create a hyperlink in that cell (or in a different cell) Saying "File Attached"
when you click on "File Attached" it will then open that file
I completly lost on how to do this
but here is the formula i have so far when it comes to click on the cell
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim arrValues
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Intersect(Range("C5:C5000"), Target) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
End Sub
I have an Excel 2003 application that creates a new workbook and adds hyperlinks that link up to other tabs withing the same new workbook.
Issue is that if say the default workbook name was "Book1" but the user saves this workbook with any other name, the hyperlinks die.
Is there anyway to use the current name of the file (instead of "Book1" in this example) in the formula "=HYPERLINK("[book1.xls]Sheet3!A1", "test")"
why no formula based hyperlinks will work in my workbook. even the simplest formula's. either it returns "cannot open specified file" or it does absolutely nothing even though the cursor acknowledges its a hyperlink.
View 5 Replies View RelatedBasically I have a folder with file names in the format:
"XXXXX characterstring"
where X is a digit
E.g.:
45627 -jdsuuuds.pdf
93823 Coates.pdf
98221 dagggiisa d sass.pdf
And I have an excel sheet with a list of the numbers at the start of these file names, eg:
45627
93823
98221
So what I want to do is have each cell link to the file with the corresponding number. So I click "45627" and it links to "C:path45627 -jdsuuuds.pdf"
I could do it if the file names matched exactly to the cell value, but when they don't.
It's super easy when the file name matches exactly:
VB: ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add ActiveCell, "C:path" & ActiveCell & ".pdf"
VB:
Sub makelinks() ChDrive "c"
ChDir "c:pathl"
For Each ce In Selection
filee = Dir(ce.Value & "*.pdf")

I have a excel Product database and a Data Entry Userform. I can gte this to work fine but need to make some improvements to make it look professional.....here's what I am looking to do...:
1) When a user add a new product using the Data Entry form, I want the user to be able to add a hyperlink to the datasheet of that product and this hyperlink will then be saved in my database in column M of that product alongwith all other details in other columns. The DataSheet files are PDF files that are stored on the public drive. So I am hoping to use a browse function or similar to select the file to hyperlink to...

I have the following formula =HYPERLINK(("G:ProjectTest Project"),"Link". Now this works fine, However I have a cell "A5" containing "Test Project" And I would rather the link refernced the cell contents So the code would look something like this; =HYPERLINK(("G:Project"+A5+"),"Link"). or something to that effect, this obviously doesnt work hence why I am here.

On sheet4 is a list of dates and I named that range as UPDATES2013. Each cell in that range is a hyperlink. Sheet1 cell I3 is a data validation list with the named range UPDATES2013 as the list. When a selection from Cell I3 is made I can get it to follow they hyperlink with the code I have. The problem I am having is if there is no file found, then I would like my Userform1 to show. I have tried several different things with the code, but every time I think Im going to get it to work....it doesn't. It either wont show the Userform at all, or it shows it even if the file is found. I am currently putting the code to run the macro on the worksheet module using the worksheet_change event.
One last thing...I also have hyperlinks throughout Sheet1 that will lead to the same files as in the named range UPDATES2013 from sheet4. I need the same thing to happen if they click one of these hyperlinks instead of using the data validation list in Cell I3. Is there a way to make one code that will show Useform1 if a hyperlink is selected and the file cannot be located (whether it be by the individual cells on sheet1...or the data validation list in Cell I3)?Here is the code I am using right now.

Here is what I want to do, attach the mail merge created file to the email, then the file associated with the hyperlink, I want to attach the actual file from the hyperlink into the email.

Assume 2 workbooks - book1 and book2, both located in "c:" (root of drive C)
Now, In book1 I have declared an HL to book2 using CTRL+K and upon clicking in that cell the book2 is opened.
After MOVING(!) book1 to a new location (D:DATA) and clicking the HL - I get an Error "cannot open the specified file".
While book1 was still in root C: - I tried to force to c:ook2.xls by typing it in the HL address window but after saving, Excel deletes the "c:" and leaves "book2.xls" only – I think because both files were located I the same directory.
I am aware that my "problem" can be solved by using the function HYPERLINK – but I would like to learn (if possible) how to insert an HL using CTRL+K that will maintain the path although moving the file which contains the HL).
I would like to write a macro that would insert a hyperlink to another file an would prompt the user to select the location of the file once the macro was run. I am not sure how I would get my macro to prompt the user to define the location (which is located on a network drive).

Excel 2010
How do I create a hyperlink in an Excel 2003 file that will open a PDF file with Reader?
I have an Excel file of hundreds of Customer names and invoice numbers. I have a directory of PDF files. The name of each PDF file is the customer name, a space, and the invoice number. I should be able to have a column in the Excel file that contains a formula that creates a hyperlink to open the corresponding PDF file.
I used the HYPERLINK function and built the path and file by concatenating information. When I click the hyperlink, I keep getting an Excel error: Cannot open the specified file.
Do you think this problem is something of my own doing or some "undocumented feature" in Excel?
