I created a monster. I have a workbook that isbeing used as an index of all our documents. Each row represents one document and each row is made up of several columns.
Each row has a hyperlink that spans the entire number of columns . The hyperlink is to a scanned document on the network. They hyperlinks were made by inserting a hyperlink in a4 thru say h4.
I assumed that counted as 1 hyperlink. But counting hyperlinks shows that counts as 8 separate links. I learned yesterday I have way few total links allowed per workbook than I have total entries available to me per page.
Seeing as my work book has several pages for different subjects with links created the same way, I believe I'm about to hit the wall. What I thought was one link per row is several. Except they aren't acting that way.

I thought the simple way would be to just remove links from all but 1 column in each sheet. NOPE. that breaks every link. That would result in a crippling amount of work to try to come back from.
Am I right, 1 row is made up of 8 separate but inter connected links? What is the fix?
Thanks

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
You could use a dynamic hyperlink formula based on your index & File names;

Can you post some sample data?
