Hyperlink from Excel to a specific slide in PowerPoint
 

FYI, adding a "#" followed by slide number, does NOT work in Office 2007.

Thanks for the link, though I couldn't really make sense out of the
subaddress bit. However....

I just read a post by J.E. McGimpsey about hyperlinking to a particular
bookmark in a Word document, and he suggests using the file path and
name followed by # and the bookmark name. So I just tried adding # and
the slide number after the PowerPoint file name, and the link opened
right to that slide. It opened in slideshow view, which I'd probably
never want, but that's how I make use of PowerPoint.

Charlie -

You can't go to a particular slide from a hyperlink in Excel. You have
to use VBA for that. The following unashamed hack opens the presentation
named in cell A1 of the active sheet, and turns to the slide number in
cell A2.
