Can Autofill be used to create Hyperlinks?

[Bushy]

When I create a hyperlink, to a cell in a distant column, on the same row, it works perfectly. However, if I try to then Autofill it down a range of rows the Hyperlinks fail to link to the correct cell address.

The Hyperlink "text" displayed in each cell shows the correct destination cell address. However, the actual link address is identical to the very first cell used to create the Autofill.

In other words, if the Hyperlink in cell A1 points to destination cell AK1
and I autofill from that cell then cell A2...A40 all point to cell AK1. Even though the text displayed from cell A2...A40 has the correct incremented address, i.e. AK2......AK40
Here's the first hyperlink text: UTM Pipeline!AK6
Here's where the link takes me: UTM Pipeline!AK6

Here's the second hyperlink text: UTM Pipeline!AK7
Here's where the link takes me: UTM Pipeline!AK6

Hope this makes sense.

Hello Bushy,

Looks like you have answered you own question. No you can't use AutoFill for this. You would need a VBA macro.
