Need to create an automatic hyperlink
I'm using Excel 2003, Windows XP.
Okay I have a workbook with a main spreadsheet and about 150 other spreadsheets with images in them. I have the names of the other spreadsheets in cell b2. How do I create a hyperlink that will concantenate the name in cell b2 to a hyperlink and point it to the spreadsheet with that name? I know I can do it by manually selecting each cell and hyperlinking manually, but with over 150 it's taking a while. Thanks. |

=HYPERLINK("file:////"&b2,"Click me!") and it fails (can't find specified file). " wrote: I'm using Excel 2003, Windows XP.

Need to create an automatic hyperlink
Do I need to include the drive and path?
I'm going to be emailing this to someone. They will not be saving it to the same drive and path that I have it on. Since I'm trying to link to a sheet within the same workbook, I would think that I don't need to include the drive and path. "Dave Peterson" wrote: Does B2 include the drive and path (or UNC path)? Maybe something like: =HYPERLINK("file:////c:\my folder\"&b2,"Click me!") or =HYPERLINK("file:////server\sharename\"&b2,"Click me!") If this doesn't help, what's the name of the file? ====== I like to put the folder name (including the final backslash) in a cell (like A1) and use: =HYPERLINK("file:////"&$a$1&b2,"Click me!") Then if the folder ever changes, I only have to change that one cell. wrote: I tried =HYPERLINK("file:////"&b2,"Click me!") and it fails (can't find specified file).
