    Hyperlink A List

    Hi all,

    Not sure if this is possible, but here goes...

    I have a list of around 300 files in a worksheet. I am trying to link each cell entry to its corresponding file. I know how to manually create a hyperlink, but it's going to take some time. Can anyone suggest a means of automatically getting Excel to find each file (they're all located in the same place) and create a link to that file.

    TIA,

    SamuelT

    Hello SamuelT,

    This macro prompts you for the file's folder path. You only need the file name in the cell. It then finds the file, and creates a hyperlink to it.
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    To Install the Macro:
    1. Copy the Macro code above using CTRL+C
    2. Open Excel and Right Click on any Sheet Tab
    3. Click on View Code in the pop up menu
    4. Use ALT+I to activate the VBE Insert Menu
    5. Press the letter m to insert a Standard Module
    6. Paste the macro code using CTRL+V
    7. Save the macro using CTRL+S
    8. Close the VBE and return to excel using ALT+Q

    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross
