Inserting Hyperlink from a Query
I am doing a simple query that, as one of its columns,
returns an excel formula for a hyperlink. For example: =HYPERLINK("http://researchportfolio.cancer.gov/cgi- bin/abstract.pl? ProjectID=14083","http://researchportfolio.cancer.gov/cgi- bin/abstract.pl?ProjectID=14083") I am using MS Query to an Oracle database. When I refresh (or first get) the data, the formula and links come in correctly, but they display as the text of the formula instead of the result of the formula (thus, no working hyperlink). When you double-click the cell and then leave the cell, Excel resolves the formula and displays a working link. I tried the same thing using a simple SUM formula instead of the hyperlink with the same result--excel displays the text of the formula until you double-click and leave the cell. Anyone know of any way to handle this programatically (preferably in the query but, if needed, a VBA solution will suffice). Thanks, Jeffrey |
