I have a link in a cell converted to hyperlink. I looks just fine, but if I click the link nothing happens.
The excel file is a xlsx file running on Excel:Mac 2011 (on Mac).
I also tried saving the file as xls but the problem persist.
I've made this capture which shows the dialog box for "Edit hyperlink". As you can see everything looks fine.

This happens to me often. What usually works is to double-click the cell, go to the end of the url and press space. Excel automagically converts it into a link you can follow. If you have many such links - you should look at what format your cells are in. Sometimes there are issues with links being in a cell that has been formatted "general". HTH
Frustrating that you can paste a hyperlink into a cell as part of a record and the hyperlink won't work. I fixed it manually with these steps:
Right-mouse click on cell with non-working hyperlink
Select "Link"
Copy the URL in "Text to display"
Paste the URL into the blank "Address"
Click the "OK" button
For me the solution to this problem was to change the program defaults so that Internet Explorer is your default browser. From a Windows PC you can do this by:
Select Control Panel from the Start menu.
Click Programs.
Click Set Your Default Programs.
In the Programs list, select the browser you want to be your default.
Click Set this Program as Default.
Click OK.
However, I have also had this problem in the past because of a firewall issue.
For a Mac you would need to:
Open Safari.
Go to Safari > Preferences.
While on the General tab, select Internet Explorer as the browser you want to use as default from the drop down menu.
Click ok.
Where the problem is that the text won't show as a hyperlink add http:// to the front of the cell.

I want to Google search a term. So, I did a concatenate formula that creates a hyperlink. It looks something like:
=CONCATENATE("https://www.google.com/search?q=",A1)
Where A1 is the location of the term I want to search.
So far, so good. This gives me a hyperlink in text form. Then, I create a second column to establish the actual hyperlink:
=HYPERLINK(location of the concatenate formula result)
Great. I've got a working hyperlink. If I use the mouse to click that formula, it opens the Google search correctly.
Now, I want to use the keyboard instead of my mouse to click this hyperlink. I need to do a bunch of these types of searches. Maybe I'll create a macro that can open them for me a few at a time.
Anyway, this older post describes a way of opening hyperlinks in Excel without using the mouse. The problem I have is that I don't see "Open Hyperlink" in my context menu. All I've got is "Remove Hyperlink".
Any ideas why and what I can do to work around it? Thanks!

Hi all,
I want to paste a website link into excel so that once I click the link, it will direct me to the website. However, some of the cells in my excel worksheet work well but some are not as shown in the screenshot above. May I know is there any thing that I need to adjust in term of format? Thank you.
When you enter what appears to be a web address Excel will automatically convert it into a hyperlink. It will then appear in blue and underscored. To get rid of the hyperlink select the cell and type "Remove hyperlink" in the Help field.
After that the web address becomes normal text and appears black. You can simply invoke the first mentioned automation by clicking in the cell, press F2 and Enter.
In my version of Excel (Microsoft Excel for Microsoft 365 MSO (16.0.13426.20270)), a pasted text is turned into a hyperlink if it is pasted in "write" or "edit" mode for a cell and then "Enter" or "Tab" is pressed.
"Write" mode can be invoked by double-clicking on a cell. "Edit" mode can be invoked by for example pressing F2, or clicking on the formula bar which is normally displayed as a text-field above the cell matrix.
I have opened an excel file containing VBA password protected (not belonging to me) and from that moment on what happens is that the code remains in the VBA editor even if I close ALL the files (see atteched pic)
Such filed was called treelist and in the VBA editor "solver.XLMA"
Put in other words. Whatever excel of mine I opened now with or without vba code once I click "editor" the first thing I see is that "solver.XLMA" that I can not access nor delete. It is really anoying because I dont know what this code is doing.
(note: yes, I closed excel several times and opened it again. solver.xlma was still there)
As you see in the picture the "solver.xlma" stais even if I close all the excel workbooks.
Some idea of how can I get rid of it and what is going on here?
thx
It is a solver add-in. To turn it off:
Click the File tab, click Options, and then click the
Add-Ins category.
In the Manage box, click Excel Add-ins, and then click Go. The Add-Ins dialog box appears.
In the Add-Ins available box, clear the check box next to the add-in that you want
to deactivade (Solver), and then click OK.
This is the answer:
That's the Solver Add-In. Go to File > Options > Add-Ins, then click Go beside "Manage Excel Add-ins". Uncheck the Solver Add-in and hit Ok
I was searching the web far and wide, with no good answer yet...
My excel worksheet blocked for "easy" hyperlink. I can't access the wizard.
I've opened a new file and figured that by the wizard I can go to specific tab with
filename.xlsx#TabName!A1
this should redirect me to tab "TabName" to square A1 within filename.xlsx.
I've managed to get to the file I want using
=HYPERLINK("[\\server\path\to\file\file.xlsx]", "Link text")
I've tried to get the code i've managed to discover:
=HYPERLINK("[\\server\path\to\file\file.xlsx]#TabName!A1", "Link text")
but no success.
anyone, can help? it redirects me to the file, but not to the tab I need.
thank you all in advace,
Ofek.
Basically I have a gigantic excel spread sheet with over 20,000 URL's. It would be very inefficient of me to click on each link to check the image. Instead I was wondering if I could take the url from one cell and load the image into a different cell. This of course would have to be a loop as I have so many images to load. So far I found a thread on this already but I have no idea how to implement this code.
How to get images to appear in Excel given image url
If someone could tell me how to use this code that would be great and you will also save my sanity. Thanks!
While your Excel sheet is open, press ALT+F11 (Edit: Not Ctrl)
This will open the Visual Basic editor. From there, locate the project explorer to the left side of the screen. It should appear something like VBAProject (YourWorkBookName.XLS)
right click it and select Insert -> Module.
You should see a blank white space for you to put code in. Just paste the code you found from the other post, but make sure you paste it inside a SUB definition , like this:
Sub AnyNameCanBeChoosen()
' Paste your code Here
End Sub
Then press F5 to execute your code.
