Opening a Single Excel File in Different Custom Views Via Hyperlinks
I am trying to do something I am not sure is possible. I have a large
Excel file being used as a database. Multiple users are interested in accessing this data, but they would prefer to have the spreadsheet open in the custom view that selects the data of most interest to them. As the group who maintains the spreadsheet database, we would prefer to use a single Excel spreadsheet, but have each hyperlink from our webpage customized to open the spreadsheet in a specified custom view. For example, if the spreadsheet contains list of projects with all universities, we would like one hyperlink to open the spreadsheet with a custom view that filters for University A and another to open the same spreadsheet with a custom view set for University B. Is this possible without saving separate copies of the spreadsheet for each view? Thanks in advance for any hints you might be able to give me. Best regards, Kent |

Kent,
I don't know of a way to specify a View from a hyperlink, but you set a named range: <PathToFile\File.xls#RangeName NickHK wrote in message oups.com...
