Keyboard shortcut to follow formula-generated hyperlinks in excel?

by trasheurfou . Updated 17 years, 11 months ago

Hi,
I have an excel file with many formula-generated hyperlinks. Instead of clicking them, I would prefer opening them with a keyboard shortcut so I made a macro :

Sub followMyLink()
ActiveCell.Hyperlinks(1).Follow
End Sub

which works for cells in which the hyperlink was built using ctrl+k, but not when the hyperlink is the result of a formula such as :

=IF(;HYPERLINK(“URL1″;”name1”);nolink)

Running followMyLink on such a cell fails because it doesn’t have any hyperlinks associated to it.

I know I could build a macro that would do the “IF” test AND follow the link, but I’d rather the two functions be separate.

Any help appreciated!
Regards,

Sam
