Is there a formula to capture the hyperlink from a cell?
Hi,
I have some data that are all hyperlinks that have text displays that describe the links. What I would like to do is write a formula that will display the hyperlink address in the next column. Any ideas? Thanks. |

Are these hyperlinks that you inserted via Insert|Hyperlink (well, in xl2003 and
below)??? If yes, ... You can use a User defined function to retrieve the link. Option Explicit Function GetURL(Rng As Range) As String Application.Volatile Set Rng = Rng(1) If Rng.Hyperlinks.Count = 0 Then GetURL = "" Else GetURL = Rng.Hyperlinks(1).Address End If End Function So if you had a hyperlink in A1, you could put =getURL(a1) in that adjacent cell. Be aware that if you change the hyperlink, then this formula cell won't change until your workbook calculates. If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm Short course: Open your workbook. Hit alt-f11 to get to the VBE (where macros/UDF's live) hit ctrl-R to view the project explorer Find your workbook. should look like: VBAProject (yourfilename.xls) right click on the project name Insert, then Module You should see the code window pop up on the right hand side Paste the code in there. Now go back to excel. Into a test cell and type: =getURL(a1) wrote: Hi, I have some data that are all hyperlinks that have text displays that describe the links.

Thanks, that works great.
The hyperlinks are dragged into the spreadsheet from the browser, so if they are from a link or a bookmark they show the label instead of the target address.
