Excel hyperlink - update cell automatically - excel

I have a problem finding (if exist) a method to update the hyperlink values automatically.
Example: I have 2 Spreadsheets: Document and List. In Document i have a hyperlinks which connects to A20 from List. If adding before the cell A20 two new rows, i will need to manually modify the hyperlink (Edit hyperlink of CTRL+K) to change the hyperlink from Document to A22.
This process can be made automatically when adding or erase rows in the spreadsheet List?

Here is a way to use hyperlink, just update the file paths. I just used a match formula to look for "Link Here" in the List file and it worked for me.
=HYPERLINK("[C:\Users\[username]\Desktop\List.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$"&MATCH("Link here",'C:\Users\[username]\Desktop\[List.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A1:$A1000,0),"Link to List")

Hi and welcome to Stack Overflow!
No need for VBA to do this.
You could simply write a formula in column B:
=HYPERLINK(A1)

Link excel with another closed excel with dynamic tab name

I'm trying to get a value from another Excel in Excel, but the tab name would have to be dynamic. For example: if in cell A1 of Workbook1 I have a drop-down list with the names of the tabs in Workbook2, I would like that, by changing the option selected in the drop-down list, the values ​​would automatically update.
I tried to use the indirect formula, but it only works with open Workbook2:
=INDIRECT("[Workbook2.xlsx]" & A1 & "!A1")
Does anyone know of any other alternative, preferably without using VBA? Thanks in advance

EXCEL maintain hyperlink with the cell content after sorting/ using formula

INTRODUCTION
I have made a excel sheet of file index. Each file entry is linked with scanned copy of the file. So when i click the file name in excel sheet the linked PDF file opens.
ACTIVITY
In a separate worksheet i have made a search function based on multiple search results with partial matching. So when i enter part of either file name or subject i get the file name using
" =IF($F$1="","",IFERROR(INDEX(A$2:A$8,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($F$1,B$2:B$8)),ROW(B$2:B$8)-ROW(B$2)+1),ROWS(B$2:B2))),""))
"
PROBLEM
The file name obtained is plain text without the hyperlink associated with the file name in the master database.
WHAT HAS BEEN TRIED
I have tried using
(A) =IFERROR(HYPERLINK(.....))
(B) =HYPERLINK(CELL NUMBER)(By getting the row number from formula and using index function to reference the cell)
There is a tiny trick:
Insure the hyperlinks in the source column are formatted so that the "display name" is the URL. You can use either Inserted hyperlinks or the =HYPERLINK() worksheet function.
Say we have links in column A and we want an alphbetized list in column C. In B1 enter:
=LOOKUP(1,0/FREQUENCY(ROWS($1:1),COUNTIF($A$1:$A$3,"<="&$A$1:$A$3)),$A$1:$A$3)
and copy downward. (Column B is in alphabetic order, but the links are "cold") Then in C1 enter:
=HYPERLINK(B1,B1)
Even though the links in column B are "cold", the links in column C are "hot"

Pull a hyperlink from a hidden sheet Microsoft Excel

I'm trying to pull a hyperlink from a hidden sheet in excel to be used in combination with an IF command, it means there will be 3 arguments.
=IF(A24="","",VLOOKUP(A24,'Product Data '!$A$2:$AD$213,19,FALSE))
Is this possible?
Please see current formula below. How do I add for the hyperlink to be used in conjunction with the IF command as I only want the link to show if specific text is selected.
TIA
In order to use the HYPERLINK from a cell in another cell, you should write it in the HYPERLINK formula:
Something like this:
=HYPERLINK(IF(1=1,VLOOKUP("www.test.com",'Product Data '!A1:A10,1,0)))
The sheet and whether it is hidden or not is irrelevant.

Removing the label within a Hyperlink leaving only the hyperlink as a text

I have created a column with rows of different hyperlinks a hyperlink within a cell, with a link label attached . Now i want to display only the hyperlink(as a text)and remove the label for each row within the column. Is this possible with a formula? I don't want to have to remove them manually one at a time
It is easily done in VBA.
Press Alt+F11 (this will open the VBA editor)
Insert a new module.
Copy this in to the module:
Function GetHyperlink(Rng As Range)
GetHyperlink = Rng.Hyperlinks(1).Address
End Function
(This will add a new custom function, which is a formula that extracts hyperlink from cell)
Then if you go back to your workbook, enter a formula where you want to extract the hyperlink.
Your formula will be =GetHyperlink(A1)
Assuming your hyperlinked cell is in A1.
Let me know if it works.
