I have a master excel sheet on sharepint (called "masterfile.xlsx") that I want to link to another Excel file (called "file-test.xlsx") in different folders on sharepoint.
I need that the "masterfile.xlsx" reflect any changes in the worksheet "file-test.xlsx"
Thanks
Write your formulas in your master workbook to include the URL to the online content. The links will not update when you display the master workbook in the browser (online), but can be updated by opening the master workbook in a desktop Excel.
='https://yourDomain.sharepoint.com/sites/yourSite/Shared Documents/[yourExcelFile.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$1
You can link them using Excel's PowerQuery:

You can relink the files using Mapped Drives (mapping a drive letter to a SharePoint library), but this is not a good solution unless all users of the Excel file are willing to map to the library using the same drive letter.

I have coded a macro that takes data from current document (excel) to another document (Excel) from a specific file folder.
Now the company is moving to share point. Is there a way to do that?
Now my VBA code is in an excel that:
Opening different -file path- excel file.
Copying and pasting data from one excel to other excel.
Can I access share point for the specific file path?
I have tried
‘’’ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address= “link” ‘’’
But this will not allow me to continue in the macro since it does not open the excel in the app. Rather it opens the direct internet url hyperlink.
Yes you can access Sharepoint with a specific file path. If you sync the relevant Sharepoint folder, it will appear in your File Explorer and you can copy that file path to use in the VBA code.

I'm attempting to build a monthly process that converts an excel file to a PDF with bookmarks for each respective sheet. I'm not seeing a method to successfully create PDF bookmarks from within the Excel workbook. Can this be accomplished without third-party software?
What I've tried:
Using Header 1 for a cell as well as an entire row.
Putting Excel Book Mark within the file using a hyperlink reference.
Adding named range.
OneDrive flow Convert File
Adding a Header.
Reviewed some VBA Ref libraries hoping to find an object.bookmark type approach.
Unfortunately, all attempts have resulted in a PDF file with no bookmarks.
Is there a method to create PDF Bookmarks from Excel? Possibly a VBA ref library that I am unaware of or some front-end trick? Unfortunately, I'm stuck working only with Microsoft tools. Adobe's Excel Add-On does exactly what I'm trying to achieve.
Is there any way to paste objects from excel sheet located in server into my local ppt presentation ?
Both of them should be linked so that whenever the excel file in server changes,my presentation linked to that file also changes.
When I go to paste special options of my PowerPoint presentation there is no way to paste the server excel object as a linked one.
Anyone having any idea how can I do so?
Thanx!
In order to Paste Special / Link, the data to be linked has to be on the clipboard. There's no way (or none that occurs to me) to put data on the clipboard of one PC from an app running on another PC/server.
However, you could create the link from a copy of the XL file on the local PC, then modify the linkpath to point to the same file on the server, assuming that the file's available to the PC via a UNC or mapped drive path.
There are several bits of example code on the PowerPoint FAQ page that I maintain:
Batch Search and Replace for Hyperlinks, OLE links, movie links and sound links

Firstly, I realise this problem could be solved with VBA, but I am looking to keep this workbook macro-free.
What I am trying to do is have several Excel workbooks embedded into my workbook (each embedded workbook is specific to a factory). I want to create a cell that acts as a dynamic hyperlink, which changes depending on which factory is filtered (I don't have any issues creating this dynamic hyperlink myself). The part I don't know how to do, is create a hyperlink that opens a document that is embedded within the workbook. I can make a hyperlink that opens a file saved in a directory, but I need to be able to share this workbook with multiple users, therefore I am embedding the documents.
Hopefully this makes sense - to summarise; I need to create a button/hyperlink that opens an embedded document WITHOUT VBA.
Many thanks
You have an EXCEL function HYPERLINK that receives a string (i.e. URL) as the first parameter. You can of course set BUILD the URL with a formula or a reference to other cell.
For instance, if you set in a cell the value:
=HYPERLINK("http://www.google.com")
and link on it, Google's page will be open on your browser. If you set the link to point to a file (any file) it will open it with the suitable application (e.g. Excel).
Is this what you were looking for?
I am new to VBA and SharePoint. I have been researching a lot of different forums and help sites, but I still can't find what I am looking for.
I am using Excel 2007 I am trying to copy a Summary tab from different excel documents on a sharePoint site. The excel documents are in different folders and I am prompted for read only or Edit before the workbook opens. There are only 25 or so workbooks that I am trying to pull.
I would ideally like to pull the summary information from the different excel workbooks into one master excel sheet with each summary sheet having its own tab in the master excel document. I think I can write the code for that part it getting the information to the master excel document that I am not sure where to start. Any help or advice would be great!
