The following UDF should give you the address:

Function hyp(r As Range) As String
hyp = ""
If r.Hyperlinks.Count 0 Then
hyp = r.Hyperlinks(1).Address
Exit Function
End If
If r.HasFormula Then
rf = r.Formula
dq = Chr(34)
If InStr(rf, dq) = 0 Then
Else
hyp = Split(r.Formula, dq)(1)
End If
End If
End Function
