Im trying to create custom URL links that will enable a user to be navigated to a specific cell value on an Excel online sheet hosted in Sharepoint online.
In my quest to find the answer i have across this parameter that enables you to choose the starting cell location when the excel file opened.
&activeCell=%27Sheet1%27!A1
My concern is if the file is sorted and saved by the user the cell i referenced would contain a new value.
Is there anyway to use something similar to the above but specify the cell value
for example
&activeCell=%27Sheet1%27!A="Sales_Rep2"
You could create a named range on the sheet and target that name with
Item=itemName
This is a bit more resilient than a cell address, even though not as ideal as a cell search or value.

Think I might be reaching a bit here, but I’m trying to find a way of sending / submitting cell values in excel to other cells. Here’s the example;
In a cell I have a car name
I’ve set my workbook up to use this cell as a field to enter data and the system calculates where what I enter into a separate table, and returns a confirmation that the car I want to look for exists. I might then delete the data in the field to repeat the search. Here’s what I’m trying to solve…
If the car doesn’t exist, I want to somehow send or copy the data from the field (by clicking something or a formula) and send it into another table automatically to list as “cars that were searched for but didn’t exist” type area, how could I do this?
Many thanks
I am working with a Table inside of excel. I would like to have it so the number documents in the table are hyperlinks back to my file folder.
I am finding that the Hyperlink formula will not work in the table. Using the same formula outside of a table it seems to work.
I have the below formula in the hyperlink link_location:
=LEFT(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1))-1)&
INDEX(Sheet2!$H$3:$I$19,MATCH(LEFT([#Number],1),Sheet2!$H$3:$H$19,0),2)&
"\"&[#Number]
In the above code;
The first part of the code identifies the file location.
Index in the code returns the name Processes for P for the Number (P009).
Returns: R:\Integrity Management\2. Document Control Management\Processes\P006
Error window coming up says: Cannot open specified file.
Ultimately it would be great if the "Number" items would hold the hyperlink instead of a separate column.
Current table set up
Not sure why. The links are currently working as intended today. If anyone has a reason why this issue occurred please let me know.
I'm trying to search the website "capfriendly.com/players/" using a column of cells and import the "Cap Hit" value back into excel in the adjacent column for each.
I'm a complete beginner when it comes to programming, so I've mostly been trying to learn from previous questions such as this one: excel macro to search a website and extract results
I'm still pretty perplexed, especially with how to extract just the specific value I'm looking for. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
I don't know which version of Excel you work with.
Anyway you can try this :
Create a new sheet.
Go to Data in the ribbon to get external data and choose "From web".
Input the url of your page ie https://www.capfriendly.com/browse
After a moment you should retrieve "Results" data that you can load with or without structure modifications. You now have a data table in your new sheet.
You can now access it with Vlookup or similar function, with VBA code or with formulas, to put specific data on specific cells of specific sheets like you need to.
Hope it helps.
I am creating a service contract for a client. The document has an Appendix that is a table that changes depending on the product. All of the Appendix tables are in Excel, and I have created an INDEX MATCH function to return the name of a Named Range according to the product chosen, and now I need Excel to actually display that range.
This is my function:
=INDEX(References,MATCH(A2,Reference!A2:A30,0),MATCH(B2,Reference!B1:D1,0))
It returns a Named Range because that's the data I have in the table:
"References", but I want it to display the table and not just its name.
My ultimate goal is to have Word display the correct table depending on choices selected in form fields within the contract. Basically, I want to automate copying the correct table from Excel into Word. It needs to keep its original formatting. Pasting as an object or image is acceptable.
I'm changing an old Excel spreadsheet and have got a user-request to add a drop-down list to a date selection field.
Data Validation is already turned on for the cell in question with a "<=TODAY()" clause (the sheet contains information on production efficiency, no idea going forward since data is not there).
The user requests a drop-down listing the past seven days. I can make a list and enumerate it in VBA, but I am having difficulties coming up with a way to apply a drop-down list to a cell without using Validation.
Is this possible?
Here are some ways you can try:
Add a datepicker to the cell (and keep the formula validation you put)
a. See some standard way on MSDN
b. or with an addin on this blog
Change dynamicaly your validation to a dropdown list when the Workbook is opened or the worksheet activated with an event procedure and add another event procedure OnChange to check if the value entered is before today.
Why not replace the existing data validation rule with a list rule? Just create a new sheet and enter in A1:A7
=TODAY()
=A1-1
...
=A1-6
Then set your data validation rule to "List" and set the Source to A1:A7 on the new sheet. Then hide the sheet just to keep it out of the way. This should preserve the old validation requirement.
