Is it possible to create a hyperlink within an Excel cell which only uses a section of the cell text for the clickable link? I.E. would the below table mockup represent something that can be easily built in Excel 2010?
I know that an entire cell can be made into a hyperlink easily, but not a specific part of the cell as far as I know.
By hyperlink I also refer to either
Thanks
After creating the hyperlink you could format the text in the cell so that only the words of interest are underlined/blue. The hyperlink will still work, but obviously you can still have only one link per cell, and clicking anywhere in the text will trigger the hyperlink.
For example:
Sub Tester()
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range("A1")
rng.Parent.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=rng, Address:="", SubAddress:= _
"Sheet1!A10", TextToDisplay:="this is long text"
With rng.Font
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone
End With
With rng.Characters(Start:=9, Length:=4).Font
.Underline = xlUnderlineStyleSingle
.Color = -4165632
End With
End Sub
This isn't possible in Excel. Hyperlinks are associated with entire cells.
If you look at the documentation for the Excel hyperlink object, you can see that it's associated with a Range. If it were possible to associate hyperlinks with a span within the cell, the Hyperlink object would need to have an associated Range and Characters object.
The above one liner was very helpful... since I'm new, I couldn't comment. So here is my variation of the above that takes each row on a worksheet and builds a URL from a value on the row.
CHGRow = 3
Worksheets("Page 1").Select
Cells(CHGRow, 1).Select
Do Until Application.CountA(ActiveCell.EntireRow) = 0
URLVal = "https://our_url_here?some_parameter=" & Cells(CHGRow, cNumber)
URLText = Cells(CHGRow, cNumber)
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Cells(CHGRow, cURL), Address:=URLVal, TextToDisplay:=URLText
CHGRow = CHGRow + 1
Cells(CHGRow, 1).Select
Loop
