Hi All

If I paste a hyperlink off a web page into a cell in a workbook, then move
the mouse over it a litte box pops up with text or numbers in it.

How can I get this text Etc, into the cell to the left of the pasted cell.

Thanks in Advance.

Saved from a previous post:

One way to extract those URL's from a hyperlink created via Insert|Hyperlink
is with a userdefinedfunction.

Here's one that may help:

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.
