HOW TO INSERT TEXT IN EXCEL HOW TO
I’ll explain how to show it in Excel 2010, but I don’t have a copy of Office 2007 or Excel 2007 itself, so I can’t do that for Excel 2007. Those buttons are moved into a tab called Developer in Excel 20, and that tab is hidden by default. If you are using Excel 2010 or Excel 2007, there’s a high chance that macro buttons aren’t shown on your task bar (or “ribbon”). I don’t want to waste one cell for each links, so I need a “smarter”, more customizable and more automated way. If omitted, the cell displays the Link_location text. Link_location is the text giving the path and file name to the document to be opened, a hard drive location, UNC address, or URL path.įriendly_name is text or a number that is displayed in the cell. See the syntax: 1Īnd here’s the description for the parameters: It also lets you “hide” the link behind a text you specify, but in any case I would have to use another cell for each cell containing the link text. It turns the text in a different cell into a hyperlink and pastes it into the cell it’s typed in.

The most basic of these is a function called HYPERLINK(). So I needed something automated to do that for me. I could do that manually (copy the link text, right click on the cell, select Hyperlink, paste the link into the address bar on the dialog window and click OK) but that would be too time-consuming, considering I had over 250 entries.

However, while Excel does automatically convert typed links into hyperlinks, it doesn’t convert pasted ones.

I was making a list of movies I own in Excel 2010, and I was also adding links to their pages in IMDB.
