    automate cut and paste hyperlinks

    Hi,

    Col 1 Col 2

    hyperlink blank
    a number hyperlink
    text hyperlink

    What I want to do is to cut and paste the hyperlink from column 1 into Col 2. But I've got 11,000 records so I need to automate the process.

    So what I'm trying to say is 'if Col 1 contains a hyperlink, please cut that hyperlink and put it into Col 2 but if Col 1 contains anything other than a hyperlink, don't do anything.

    So I end up with:
    blank hyperlink
    a number hyperlink
    text hyperlink

    And the resultant hyperlink must work (in some of my experiments the url doesn't appear).

    I've basically copied and pasted a lot of records from a website and I'm now trying to get everything in the right columns.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks

    Hope this helps.. Try using Hyperlink function

    =HYPERLINK ( link, [display_name] )

    in the place of "link", give the cell reference.. and "display_name" is optional..

    later drag the function to all the 11000 records you have.

    Thanks but it highlights on of the problems I had when experimenting - the resultant 'hyperlink' is a piece of text that's underlined like a hypertext link but there's no address information behind it so when you click it it just says the address is not valid.

    Hi -

    Try the code below.

    When the Macro is run, cell with hyperlink will be cut and paste the same to its corresponding column.

    Hi thanks for you input. I can't use it because I'm not quite sure how to - I'm was hoping for a nested function type solution. But thanks.

    Unfortunately.. as per my knowledge.. we dont have any such function in Excel which could extract the link from a hyperlink text/cell.

    So what I'm trying to say is 'if Col 1 contains a hyperlink, please cut that hyperlink and put it into Col 2 but if Col 1 contains anything other than a hyperlink, don't do anything.
    As far as I know, there are no regular formulas that will "see" a hyperlink. Formulas work on what is displayed in the cell (the answers), and not the actual cell contents (formulas)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
