Hello All,

Hope someone here will be able to tell me how to activate URL link in a range of cells using VBA.
I tried to record the macro, but all it gives me is
Code:
Sub Macro3()'
' Macro3 Macro
'


'
    Range("N10").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
        "https://****.com.au/****/***/template/generic/******/"
    Range("N45").Select
End Sub

Sorry I had to replace the words with * as it is live and sensitive information. And each cell will have a different link.

I tried
Code:
Sub Test()For Each Cell In Range("N49:N50")
Cell.FormulaR1C1 "=" & Cell.Value
Next
End Sub
And also
Code:
Sub Test()For Each Cell In Range("N49:N50")
Cell.Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 "=" & Cell.Value
Next
End Sub

Nothing works so far.
Please let me know how to do this.
Thanks for your help.

Excel Facts

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
Like this:

Code:
Sub URL()
Worksheets("Sheet1").Hyperlinks.Add Range("N10"), "http://www.google.com", , , "Google"
End Sub

or if you just want the actual URL to show and not a custom Text to Display:
Code:
Sub URL()
Worksheets("Sheet1").Hyperlinks.Add Range("N10"), "http://google.com"
End Sub

Thanks Scott,

Will that apply to the whole range like this:
Code:
Sub Test()
For Each Cell In Range("N49:N50")
Worksheets("Data").Hyperlinks.Add Cell, "http://www.google.com", , , "Google"
Next
End Sub

If I understand the second part of your question, you have URLS in the cells as text. If that's the case, then perhaps this will do what you want.

Code:
Sub MakeURL()
Dim x As Long
For x = 49 To 50
    Worksheets("Sheet1").Hyperlinks.Add Range("N" & x), Range("N" & x)
Next
End Sub

I also tried this:
Code:
Sub Test()For Each Cell In Range("N49:N50")
[COLOR=#ff0000]Worksheets("Data").Hyperlinks.Add Cell, "http://www.google.com[/COLOR]"
Next
End Sub
But no luck. It highlights the line shown in red above.

Same problem with this one as well. The line in red above gets highlighted.

Sorry, my bad.

I forgot to change the sheet name.
It does work perfect.

Thanks a lot.
