Excel - How to Add Hyperlink to Plain Text
Excel 2013
Windows 7
BACKGROUND:
I have a list of names and dates all in one column that include hyperlinks. I expanded the contents of each cell to multiple columns. But, in doing so, I lost the hyperlinks.
PROBLEM:
I need a formula or Macro that takes the hyperlink from one cell in COL A and applies it to the adjacent cell in COL B, but I need to be able to tell it what SRC column and what DEST column to use; it's not always A and B.
NOTE: Only the first cell of the expanded data needs the hyperlink.
SAMPLE DATA:
Original Data - This shows the first Column that contains the original data and the adjacent Columns that have been expanded - (copy/paste this sample data to your Excel spreadsheet and then add any hyperlink by hand to first Column cells for testing)
NOTE: To retain the proper layout in Excel, you may need to paste the code first into a plain text editor such as Notepad, then copy and paste into Excel.
