LINKING Address cells from an EXCEL spreadsheet to fill MapQuest Address Info
I am working with Excel 2002 in a Windows XP environment.
Doing a hyperlink from within my Customer Contact Info Worksheet directly to the "Get Directions" screen at MapQuest was really simple with the hyperlink insertion utility on the Insert Drop Down Menu. However, since we have the computer doing all the work shy of a click of the mouse or a tap of an Enter Key, why not have the hyperlink address include the necessary references to automatically load the Customer's Street, City, State and Zip Code with that same press of the finger? My Worksheet is entitled 'Customer Contact Info'! when linking within the Workbook. My Worksheet was set-up with small width cells due to the various other pieces of Contact information. The full width of the sheet runs from cell A to cell AH thus, the MapQuest input comes from the following cells: Street Name: Cells H45:AG45 MERGED INTO A SINGLE ENTRY FIELD. City Name: Cells H47:AG47 MERGED INTO A SINGLE ENTRY FIELD. State Name: Cells H49:T49 MERGED INTO A SINGLE ENTRY FIELD which is MUCH WIDER than necessary. Zip Code: Cells X49:AB49 These are INDIVIDUAL CELLS for the first five (5) digits and, Cells AD49:AG49 are INDIVIDUAL CELLS for the last four (4) digits I have tried editing the hyperlink formula using 1) the Merged Cell ranges AND 2) the first Cell of the Merged Cells BOTH 3) WITH and WITHOUT the Worksheet Name. But, this information in any one of these formats is simply transferred to MapQuest in their literal structure rather than loading the information within the cells as would be done from Worksheet to Worksheet within Excel. How do I structure the hyperlink formula to load the true address information as it is entered into the various cell ranges to be recognized by the MapQuest search engine for directions? I do have to be careful in regards to the length of my Cell ID because there is a 255-character limit to the hyperlink formula. Hoping that this solution is as simple as the last one I asked for. |
