I am having trouble in excel vs2002 with an if statement that I am trying to
build a hyperlink in.
If D4 if blank I want it to remain blank but if it is not I want to build a
http link.
It comes back but just as text. Doing a find replace after for the = sign
makes it a formula and works. Would like to do it without the find replace.
thanks..

FGM,

Did you try embedding the HYPERLINK function in your IF function?

The same thing happens when I use HYPELINK. It comes back as text. If I go
in and edit the equal sign and hit enter or use find then it comes back as a
formula. Anyone else have a solution please ..thank you.

FGM,

You shouldn't need the double quote or the = before HYPERLINK nor the
double quote at the end. The result of the FALSE statement comes back
as text because you enclosed the string in double quotes. (And I'm
not sure why you have blank double quotes in at least two spots within
the HYPERLINK formula). What is your hyperlink supposed to look like,
i.e. can you post the raw text of ("&""""&$A$1&"["&F$3&TEXT($D4,"m-d-
yy")&".xls]Dail*y Schedule!$AT$54"&""""&"? (Or, are you looking to
get a value from the listed workbook/worksheet/cell? You may be
looking for the INDIRECT function).

Be sure to read help file on the IF function, and more particuallarly
on the HYPERLINK function (which accepts the link_location as text).
Also, see the examples for these functions.

Best,

Matt

FGM,

Sorry about the double quote comment, I was thinking about something
else at the time. However, another alternative is to build your
string text (i.e. the text before and after your TEXT function) in
another cell and then reference this cell in the HYPERLINK forumla
within the IF formula. (Or at least building it this way will help
reveal where potential errors may occur. Then you can "smash"
everything together again).

Best,

Matt

Your input is greatly appreciated. HYPERLINK may not be the right function.
I am not trying to create a link that will bring back the information store
in the specified cell from the workbook that I am trying to link to.

Suggestions still welcomed.

ps your way of doing the HYPERLINK works to create a HYPERLINK address.
