I am generating a csv file which has the link to specific files. It looks like:
D:\abc,D:\xxx..
D:\fgt\a.txt, D:\yxz..
.
.
Now when opening this in excel I want to make these get converted into hyperlinks so that the user clicks them and the corresponding file or folder opens up.
Is there any way I can make the excel identify it as links and make them clickable links. A simple one or two steps in excel which would do this?
Thanks...
Use the HYPERLINK() worksheet function in Excel. If your generated links are in column A, insert a new column (column B) and place the following formula in cell B1:
=HYPERLINK(A1)
Then simply fill down that formula in column B.

I have a set of websites listed in column A, I need a macro code to extract hyperlinks in the column B without me clicking twise on the cell to make the hyperlink active (I tried some codesthat I found on the internet, but all of them were just extracting the inactive hyperlinks untill I double click on the cell to activate it). so the code should extracts and activates in the same time the hyperlinks from column A into column B. Would that be possible?

Hi and welcome to Stack Overflow!
No need for VBA to do this.
You could simply write a formula in column B:
=HYPERLINK(A1)
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'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.
I am new to Sikuli. I need to copy data from excel sheets and paste them to a DB query using sikuli script. And how can I iterate among the excel cells to copy and paste the data repeatedly.
These data needs to copied and pasted one after the other.
It might be easier to copy all of the cells at once, then paste them one by one.
once Sikuli has opened Excel, you could do something like:
type(Key.HOME, KeyModifier.CTRL) #takes you to cell A1
type("a", KeyModifier.CTRL) #select all
type("c", KeyModifier.CTRL) #copy to clipboard
fromExcel = Env.GetClipboard().strip() #get clipboard contents into Sikuli, without leading or trailing white space
cells = fromExcel.split("/n") #split each cell into list on newline
#go to the destination app, maybe using App.open("nameOfYourApp") if it's not open yet, or App.focus("nameOfYourApp") if it is already open
for cell in cells: #use python to iterate through your list
#navigate to the line or cell where you want to paste
paste(cell)
Would something like that be of help?
Rather than providing a specific approach let's understand the options you have.
Simulate user keyboard actions (like it is described here by #autoKarma).
Excel sheet having a very specific structure allows you to detect some key points like first column and first row and then calculate other cells locations based on them.
You can try and use one of the Python Excel API libraries to access the excel sheet directly via API. If you only need to read the document and to to amend it, I believe this will be fairly easy to do.
Note: In all cases you will obviously have to think of how do you bring yourself to the point where you have an open Excel sheet on your screen and how to dispose of it when done.
I have a Column of data in excel with employee names, I am trying to hyper link each cell to the Employee file in a directory, the names for the folders and cells are formatted identically. I could manually go through and hyperlink these however that would be very tedious and I am hoping there is a function that can accomplish this that I am not familiar with.
I think this is also doable using macros/vba however that is something I have not used in the past.
Thanks for your time and feedback!
Use the =HYPERLINK function in column B. Assuming that the files are in C:\directory\ and that they are called "content in column A".xlsx -- try this:
=HYPERLINK("C:\directory\"&A1&".xlsx", A1)
