How can I count the number of links?
My spread sheet has a column of hyperlinks. About 100 of them. They are jobs I've applied for from the job sites. Is there a way I can search through the hyperlinks to count how many are from one specific job board like "monster.com"? Pseudo-Code: =CountIFHyperlinkContains(A25:A982,"monster") Any ideas? |
How can I count the number of links?
Do you see the hyperlink address in the cell?
If yes: =countif(a25:a982,"*monster*") If now, then I'd use a UDF that extracted the link's address into an adjacent cell (B25:B982??). If you want to try: You can use a User defined function to retrieve the link. Option Explicit Function GetURL(Rng As Range) As String Application.Volatile Set Rng = Rng(1) If Rng.Hyperlinks.Count = 0 Then GetURL = "" Else GetURL = Rng.Hyperlinks(1).Address End If End Function So if you had a hyperlink in A1, you could put =getURL(a1) in that adjacent cell. Be aware that if you change the hyperlink, then this formula cell won't change until your workbook calculates. If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm Short course: Open your workbook. Hit alt-f11 to get to the VBE (where macros/UDF's live) hit ctrl-R to view the project explorer Find your workbook. should look like: VBAProject (yourfilename.xls) right click on the project name Insert, then Module You should see the code window pop up on the right hand side Paste the code in there. Now go back to excel. Into a test cell and type: =getURL(a1) Then you could use the =countif() formula, but point at the other range. Mr Clone enolC wrote: My spread sheet has a column of hyperlinks.
