    Please upload the sample file.

    Were the hyperlinks created by macro or manually?

    Did you change the location of the files?

    I used the create hyperlink option when you right click on the cell.
    They were moved but i deleted that hyperlink and added a new one with the new location. still doesnt work.

    So where should the hyperlinks be placed? Should i just create dummy files like Book1.xlsx, Book2.xlsx and hyperlink them to your file?

    Every item in the "Sample#" column will have a hyperlink with each hyperlink going to a different workbook.

    I created a hyperlink myself and it worked. Could you try again and ensure that you do not change the location of the file?

    I figured it out. The folder that the workbooks were in had a "#" in the name. When I removed that everything works fine.
