Convert Cell Text to Matching Hyperlink?????
We have an Excel spreadsheet that contains information to scanned images being populated into our engineering database. In the spreadsheet there is information as to the creation time and date, size, title and other related information. One of the columns is the name and location of the actual TIFF image file. This field is just text. What we would like to do is convert the cell from just text stating the location and filename to a hyperlink pointing to the specific file. For example, the cell contents state : G: \folder2007\subfolder0320\00001234.tif We would like to still have the text in the cell but add to the cell a hyperlink that actually points to the file at G: \folder2007\subfolder0320\00001234.tif so when we click on the cell it will launch our associated image viewing application and view the image. We tried creating a macro to do this one call at a time and copied the text in the cell to the clipboard and then pasting back in as a hyperlinlk. Somehow the cell address gets tagging into this and when you run the macro it always jumps back to the original cell the macro was written at. Any way to automate this process or any shortcuts to converting these cells to matching hyperlinks???? Any and all help is greatly appreciated, Scott

I'd use another column with a formula like:
=hyperlink("file:////" & x2,"ClickMe!")
where x2 is the address of the cell containing:
G:\folder2007\subfolder0320\00001234.tif
If that G: is in a different cell:
=hyperlink("file:////" & w2 & x2,"ClickMe!")

WORKS PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!! We have to check about 600 files a day and it used to take about 6 individual clicks to open the file to view and check and with this is take ONE, which equates to a savings of about 3,000 mouse clicks a day!!!!

Now that we have that working we have a hyperlink to the file (for example) G:\folder2007\subfolder0320\00001234.tif When we click on this hyperlink we get the warning that "Some files can conatin viruses or otherwise be harmful..... blah-blah-blah". And we have to click OK every single time we click a file. Is there any way to disable this warning or at least identify that these files are "safe"??????

Found some MS help on disabling the warning message when trying to hyperlink directly to a TIF image file and we did the following : regedit to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common and created a new DWORD named DisableHyperlinkWarning and set it to 1 --> no change regedit and created HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft \Office\11.0\Common and created a new DWORD named DisableHyperlinkWarning and set it to 1 --> no change regedit to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMVFile\EditFlags and set EditFlags to 10000 (hex) --> no change Went to My Computer/Tools/Folder Options/File Types/TIF and TIFF and was told to click the ADVANCED button but there is no ADVANCED button for TIF or TIFF. Can't get ride of this dang warning message!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= --------------------- On Mar 22, 11:23 am, "infiniteMPG" <57clas...@gmail.com> wrote: > Now that we have that working we have a hyperlink to the file (for > example) > > G:\folder2007\subfolder0320\00001234.tif > > When we click on this hyperlink we get the warning that "Some files > can conatin viruses or otherwise be harmful..... blah-blah-blah". > And we have to click OK every single time we click a file.

Book/doc on converting XP program to work nicely on Vista?
Any good books or documentation, things I should know about what worked fine on XP that won't work on Vista, what needs to be modified in the program to get it to work nicely on Vista, umm, stuff like that? What's a better way than Journal Hooks for a program to record it's own keystrokes? Journal hooks was always problematic if other programs were running that didn't process their messages correctly, and now on Vista I hear journal hooks have been disabled. try Microsoft Application Verifier.

Using HYPERLINK Function in array formula
I've spent a good part of the day working on a few pretty complex array formulas. I'd now like to add one that will create an array of hyperlinks. I thought I could do something equivalent to: =HYPERLINK({"http://google.com","http://yahoo.com","http:// microsoft.com"}, {"google","yahoo","microsoft"}) ....but I just end up with an array filled with google links... Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, James hi, James ! > I've spent a good part of the day working on a few pretty complex array formulas. > I'd now l...
VLOOKUP for a cell with both letters and numbers
Hello I am trying to use VLOOKUP to find an exact match, the problem is that the cell contains data that is a series of letters and numbers. I have used vlookup to find and then return data successfully if the search cells are all letters OR all numbers, but can't get it to work when both are present. I have also tried formatting the cells to read as 'text', or 'general', neither of which made a difference. PLEASE HELP! Thanks Please give examples of the data you are using, the value you are using as a key and the LOOKUP formula itself Regards Trevor "So...

split text in cell into 2
I am needing help with formula. I have a cell that takes values from several other cells to create one long line text (for a command used in other app). For ex: a1=jack b1=ran c1="There was a person named"&a1&"who was hungry and"&b1&" to Mcdonalds." This process works great except when the line is greater than 72. I need an if statment that says if c1 length is greater than 72 then to split / replace line AFTER name(a1). Where the split occurs a +, and carriage return needs to be added. So in the example above (pretend length will be over 72,...

Excel formula for seperating two words in the same cell.

Ranking Only Visible Cells
I have a spreasheet with store numbers in column A and the store's sales in column B. Example: 1 $500.00 2 $497.38 3 $557.15 etc. There are 70 stores but only 64 of them are OFFICIALLY generating sales. I have hidden the stores that are generating sales UNOFFICIALLY and want to rank the visible stores only. Is there a way to rank only the visible cells? The hidden stores are scattered throughout and will become "official" at different times, so "hard-coding" the formula would be a pain (there are many of these spreadsheets with different informati...

Hi, I would like to know, how can I select part of a sentence Range object and change it's text automatically.

VALIDATION DATA IN A CELL
Hi, can some one tell me if there's any way I put put some validation or enforcement in a cell, where users HAVE to input something and it CANT be left blank ? Thanks What I usually do in a case like that is to use Conditional Formatting to color the cells RED if they are blank, (ie = <> )and they turn white when data is entered in them, then on the next function that depends on that data, say a SUM function, use an IF to condition it, such as......... =IF(COUNT(A1:A10)=10,SUM(A1:A10),"Red Cells must contain values") Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Chris" &l...
Unable to use right-click on cells; standard and formatting toolbars disabled
Hello - I'm not sure what happened but a while back I started having problems with excel. First, the Standard and Formatting toolbars are no longer displaying in the toolbar area. When I use Customize toolbar they appear on the Customize-Toolbar tab, but the check-boxes to the left are disabled (i.e I can't check/uncheck them) . Second, and really important for me because I use a lot of this feature, in the working area, right-clicking no longer works. When I right-click a cell, row, or column, no right menu appears with the traditional copy, cut, paste etc or whatever. Noth...

Add formula to cell to sum range of cells
I am trying to write a macro that selects a range of cells and then format a nearby cell to show the sum of that range. The code i have does so by selecting the range, naming it, and using the name in the formula. The problem is that I want to run this for multiple sheets in the workbook. I can't figure out how to use a variable to name the range and use it in the sum formula. Using ActiveSheet.name + "Days" in the sum formula creates an error. Range("B11").Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown).Offset(-1#)).Select ActiveWorkbook.N...

I am an old lotus guru that is lost in VBA. Can someone convert the following simple lotus macro to VBA? It compares two values and moves one set or the other if not matched to align two series of data.
