View Full Version : [SOLVED] Get absolute address for hyperlinks

I'm using Excel 2003.
Have a macro that extracts all the hyperlinks and does a text search and replace. For those hyperlinks that do not contain the search string I write to a "StringNotFound" spreadsheet. However, if a spreadsheet contains hundreds or thousands of links that it would be tedious to locate exactly what cell the hyperlink is located in. So, what I would like to do is obtain the absolute cell location and provide that info in the "StringNotFound" along with contents of the hyperlink. How can I get the cell reference information in the form of A1, C24, etc for each cell that contains a hyperlink.


Dim h as Hyperlink
dim hypstr as String
For each h in Worksheets("XYZ").Hyperlinks
hypstr = h.address 'how do I get the cell location of h????
If replacestring does not exit in hypstr then write to StringNotFound
next

Welcome to the forum!

Please put code between VBA tag codes. Press the VBA icon and paste between codes.


hypstr = h.Range.Address
