I'm wondering why my Paypal donate link in excel is not working?
I have tried inserting an image and adding the Paypal donate button email link to the image as a hyperlink and I have tried just adding the hyperlink into an excel cell by itself with no success.
I emailed the link to my self and it works that way...
The excel file is a macro enabled workbook. excel 2010
This is because of how Microsoft Office looks up and caches links. I've heard of this problem but I don't know of a viable intra-Office solution.
What you can do is put your email links or buttons on a web page -- there are many free hosting providers available -- and then link to that web page from Excel.
I was able to add a link to a cell in excel which takes a user to a page on my site which then redirects them to PayPal. A little clunky but working for now.

When I click on a hyperlink with gsheet url in excel, "Update your browser to use Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Sites, Slides, and Forms" page opens in browser each time. And when I manually copy paste the link in browser, it works.
It is not caused by malware, it is likely a Windows update that causes Office and Google Docs not to communicate correctly.

The thing is you cannot click on cell link, you need to hover the cell and after that click on appearing link. That's how links in google sheets work
I found a solution to overcome this challenge. Using the Shell command I was able to achieve it. I used VBA to execute the command:
Shell "explorer ""https://www.google.com"""
This command will open the URL in default browser of user.
I have an Excel add-in that was certified and published about two weeks ago, but I can't find it from Excel, google search or any other methods.
Is there still something, i need to do for add-in to appear?
I also need to get the URL to add-in page, so that I can insert it to my website. Is it possible?
I'm trying to run a PowerQuery on a work-related Google Sheet (that I can't share here) so that the data appears in Excel and refreshes when I need it to.
I have published the Google sheet to the web and gotten the link (in web format, not Excel, but this is failing no matter which file format I publish in).
I then go to Data->From Web in Excel and I paste the link to the Google Doc get this:
Query Preview
As you can see, the data isn't appearing. It should be a table with a bunch of data.
Can someone help me fix this?
When using Google's File / Publish to the web pop-up, change the 2nd setting from "Web page" to "Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)". It then builds a link that works without modification in Power Query.
FYI the best in-depth discussion on this topic is on this thread:

BTW if you have published your Google sheet to the web, then there shouldn't be any obstacle to sharing it here - it's already visible to anyone.
I need to prevent Excel hyperlinks from being redirected by website scripts. Details are below.
In a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, I use the formula =hyperlink("url") to define hyperlinks to various websites. For most websites, the hyperlinks work as expected; however, some websites have implemented a script to redirect the hyperlink after the first click. The first time I click on the hyperlink after starting Excel, the hyperlink works correctly. Subsequent clicks on the hyperlink are redirected until I restart Excel. I am able to defeat the script (and thus prevent the redirect) by adding the website domain to Internet Explorer's "Restricted Sites" (under the IE Security tab); however, this breaks other functionality of the hyperlinked website. How can I prevent this unwanted redirect without adding the domain to Restricted Sites? If I could somehow clear the hyperlink cache after the hyperlink is clicked (using Excel VBA), that would be an acceptable option.
I am running Excel 2016 (32-bit) in Windows 7 (32-bit) with IE 11.
I was having this same exact problem. My default browser is chrome, but somehow IE was affecting Excel links. I added the website to IE's restricted sites which allowed me to actually open the link. Since chrome is my default browser, it opens up and works perfectly in chrome (retains functionality).
