excel - Formula information displaying correctly, but link information is not -
in picture above have placed following formula in cell j1:
=hyperlink(left(cell("filename",a1),find("[",cell("filename",a1))-1),left(cell("filename",a1),find("[",cell("filename",a1))-1)) i created file on local c: drive , personal download folder. created hyper link formulas in i4, , copied down, build on path name j1. worked fine , dandy when tested it.
problem
when move file network drive, value in cell j1 showed new new network path. when click on link open personal download folder created , saved workbook.
what have tried
i thought there might value saved not updated when moved file since used explorer move file opposed saving open workbook in new location. on come tried saving file in new location no effect. tried save no effect either.
what trying achieve
i trying achieve automatic link allow user click on drawing link , open associated file independent of how have mapped or reference network location. automatically update path should folder moved or renamed.
what went wrong? there better way of doing this?
potential cause
when using =hyperlink formula, excel generates hyperlink if added 1 manually right clicking on cell. formats text underline , blue/purple text. "manually" created hyperlink sits on top of formula gets selected first. "manual" hyperlink not update.
work around
select cells issue. right click bring menu , select remove hyperlink. removes excels "manual" hyperlink, leaves cells hyperlink formula still works , updated.
