Anyone know how to create a hyperlink inside an Excel pie chart?

Hi,

You will have to capture mouse clicks via the chart events, see Jon
Peltier's explanation.

To mimic the the hyperlink use something like,

Activeworkbook.FollowHyperlink [address]

Cheers

Yes.
Create the pie chart, (I always use 'insert as new sheet' option).

Draw a text box onto the pie chart and type in the web address.

I then selected the text box ( so I got the dots around the text box not the
lines) and right-clicked and the Hyperlink option was there.

You can type the URL into the normal place as you would for any hyperlink.

After this, any time I did a new text box and typed in a www. URL it
automatically recognised it and I didn't have to right-click and select
Hyperlink.

Hope this helps?
