Conditional Hyperlink
I am trying to open a file using the following VLOOKUP to obtain the file
name based on the contents of C3 and stored in the Link_Table in column G8+2. =HYPERLINK(VLOOKUP($C$3,Link_Table,G8+2,FALSE)) The file name and path stored in the Link_Table is as follows: L:\Engrdept\New Manuals\Attach-A-Puller (ABP)\Vacuum\MTC Style\Standard\Text Files\abpvcover.pdf Where the L: Drive is on a server named Mtc4\Shared_Files\ I can create a hyperlink in a cell that opens the file OK, but when I look it up it give me an error saying it Cannot open the specified file Any suggestions? |

Maybe...
=HYPERLINK("file:////"&VLOOKUP($C$3,Link_Table,G8+2,FALSE)) But this means your =vlookup() has to return the actual path/filename. =vlookup() won't bring back the hyperlink. bearcat wrote: I am trying to open a file using the following VLOOKUP to obtain the file name based on the contents of C3 and stored in the Link_Table in column G8+2. =HYPERLINK(VLOOKUP($C$3,Link_Table,G8+2,FALSE)) The file name and path stored in the Link_Table is as follows: L:\Engrdept\New Manuals\Attach-A-Puller (ABP)\Vacuum\MTC Style\Standard\Text Files\abpvcover.pdf Where the L: Drive is on a server named Mtc4\Shared_Files\ I can create a hyperlink in a cell that opens the file OK, but when I look it up it give me an error saying it Cannot open the specified file Any suggestions? -- Dave Peterson |

Thanks Dave, this may work. Can't do it now, but I'll give it a try and let
you know if it does not work.
