    Hyperlink with drop downs

    Hey guys,

    I'm kinda new to excel and I was wondering whether it is possible to connect dropdown options to a folder hyperlink in another cell.

    So for example, when you choose 'Apple' in cell A1 a hyperlink is created in D1 to the Apple folder. If you select Mango in cell A1, a link is created in cell D1 to the Mango folder,etc.

    If anyone can help me, that would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,

    Pete

    Hi Pete,

    Lets suppose that Mango and Apple folders are stored in a folder called Fruits located in your C:\ drive. This means that the path for Mango folder is C:\Fruits\Mango.

    So for doing what you asked for you have to write the following formula in D1:
    =HYPERLINK("C:\Fruits\"&A1,A1)

    Hope this helps!
