I'd like to have an HTML file with a URL that points to particular cell in local Excel file.
For example using file://temp/Workbook.xlsx#Sheet1!$A$5 opens the Workbook.xlsx spreadsheet with the cursor already at A5 on sheet Sheet1.
Couldn't find a URL format for that.
Is that possible?

I have an Excel sheet with poorly formatted data. Some of this data is URLs. On another tab, I have a nicer format and point to the poorly formatted data. I would like the link to the URL's to open the URL, but it is not working.
Example:
Sheet 1, Cell A1 contains the hyperlink Name: Google, Address:www.google.com
--clicking on this cell opens www.google.com
Sheet 2, Cell A1 = HYPERLINK("Sheet1!A1")
I'd like to click Sheet 2, cell A1 and open www.google.com but I get "Cannot open specified file".
I believe this worked on older versions of Excel but not 100% positive.
I've tried turning off the Web Option:Files:Update Links on Save - did not work.
I am trying to append a URL with a string pulled from an excel sheet. I have a column which I would like to be used to append the URL, then have it write something pulled from that page, then move onto the next page by pulling from the next cell down in the column. So far I'm just trying to figure out how to append from excel in the URL. Below is what I have so far (a static URL).
UPDATE: I have figured out how to copy paste the URL from the excel sheet, however when pasted into the URL, the browser copy pastes the URL as well as some (what seem to be) random numbers and letters at the end. When I had this write to a text file on the other hand, these numbers and letters were not there.
I want to edit external link with cell value on excel,
Example
I am getting B1 value from LIST in TT001.xlsx on file TEST.xlsx as below;
='D:\FILES\[TT001.xlsx]LIST'!B1
I want to change link from a cell in file TEST.xlsx link as below;
='D:\FILES\['$A$1'.xlsx]LIST'!B1
Can you help me for the right syntax on above?
I have an Excel spreadsheet in which I need to make hundreds of links to PDF files that are in the same folder on my computer.
The file name for the link appears in the Excel table.
Today I create each link separately, but I'm sure there is a simpler way to tell Excel to copy the link in the top box but look for the file whose name appears in the Excel table.
I'm doing each hyperlink separably
Assuming A1 has the name of the hyperlink and A2 has the location, use this formula where you want the link to appear:
=HYPERLINK(A1,A2)
You can then copy this down to the other cells.
I am working in an organization where we have 100s of excel files on our shared drive. These excel files contain asset numbers to our company assets in different cells within the files. What I would like to do is create a script in vba which would run only once and search through all these excel files using the find method and paste their cell addresses adjacent to their file path (I already have the paths of all the files in an excel sheet). But this address should in the form of a link formula, just like "=A2" so that we can later on modify this formula if there is a change in the position of the asset number without using vba. So suppose,
If cell E3 in the file1 contains asset number "XXX0000", the vba script should paste something like " ='\shared drive\folder path\file1.xlsx]WS'!$E$3 " in the cell next to the path,"\shared drive\folder\". So later on we can manually modify this formula if there is a change in its cell location
Thanks
