    Hyperlink wont work.

    Hello, So I cant seem to get a hyper link to work and i need some assistance.

    Here is the file location: W:\Survey\Sawyer\Multi Page Pdf

    The file name is: 43703010000.pdf

    I have been able to get excel to recognize this hyperlink format, =HYPERLINK("W:\Survey\Sawyer\Multi Page Pdf "&A12&".pdf")

    but I get a message saying it "cant open specified file".

    and cell A12 contains 4370301000

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Re: Hyperlink wont work.

    Two possible issues I can see:
    (1) You need a backslash added to the path (and remove the space before the "):
    =HYPERLINK("W:\Survey\Sawyer\Multi Page Pdf\"&A12&".pdf")
    (2) Check the number of final zeros in A12 - you say the file name is '43703010000.pdf' but say A12 contains '4370301000' - probably just a typo on here, but worth checking.

    Does that help?

    If your problem is solved, please go to 'Thread Tools' above your first post and 'Mark this Thread as Solved'.
    If you use commas as your decimal separator (1,23 instead of 1.23) then please replace commas with semi-colons in your formulae.
    You don't need to give me rep if I helped, but a thank-you is nice.
