Hi,
I am using the following code.
My problem is that when i add a hyperlink into this cell the Font Size should be 10 but its actually say 22

If i type manually in the same cell or actuall any in column D then all is well and the Font Size is 10 as it should be.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()    
    Range("B7").Select
    Range("D13:D100").Font.Size = 10
    Range("D13:D100").Name = "Calibri"
    Range("D13:D100").BorderAround xlContinuous, xlThin
    Range("D13:D100").BorderAround xlContinuous, xlThin
End Sub

Thanks

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Hi,

I think I see what you are saying but correct me if I am wrong.
The font change to 10 is done on the range when the worksheet is activated and you then edit one of the entries after to create a hyperlink. It appears the hyperlink text
is then reverting to the workbooks default font size, which is set in File Options, which if you check should show 22?

To confirm - if you select another sheet and go back the hyperlink text will change to size 10?

I would say it's a bug....

I have tried a Worksheet Event and that doesn't seem to detect a change in the cell when you modify it to a hyperlink either..

Anyone cast some light???

I tried the following 'bodge':
Add a hyperlink to the cell then click anywhere in column E

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

If Target.Column = 5 Then
Range("D13:D100").Font.Size = 10
End If

End Sub

When i put a hyperlink in the cell i do it like this.
Right click,Hyperlink, then paste link in address field.
For me this still returns the huge text font.

If i just paste the hyperlink straight into a cell then yes its at the size 10 font but when you click the link it doesnt open up the url

Hi,

you need to paste the above code underneath your worksheet activate code.
Right-click, hyperlink and paste the address as you do - the font will increase in size.
Left click column E to activate selection change code and that should change the font back to size 10

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
    Range("B7").Select
    Range("D13:D100").Font.Size = 10
    Range("D13:D100").Name = "Calibri"
    Range("D13:D100").BorderAround xlContinuous, xlThin
    Range("D13:D100").BorderAround xlContinuous, xlThin
End Sub


Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 5 Then
Range("D13:D100").Font.Size = 10
End If
End Sub

Morning,

My now current code is shown below.

I have 2 questions / requests please.

After completing the hyperlink as opposed to clicking in column E to then force the hyperlink to font size 10 can a range of 2 - 4 be used instead ?

When the hyperlink font size is changed to 10 i also need it to change to uppercase.
Many thanks, i did try Range("D13:D100").Value = Ucase but it didnt work for me


Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)If Target.Column = 5 Then
    Range("D13:D100").Font.Size = 10
    Range("D13:D100").Font.Size = 10
    Range("D13:D100").Name = "Calibri"
    Range("D13:D100").BorderAround xlContinuous, xlThin
    Range("D13:D100").BorderAround xlContinuous, xlThin
    Range("B7").Select
End If
    Dim myStartCol As String
    Dim myEndCol As String
    Dim myStartRow As Long
    Dim myLastRow As Long
    Dim myRange As Range


    If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
'   *** Specify columns to apply this to ***
    myStartCol = "B"
    myEndCol = "D"


'   *** Specify start row ***
    myStartRow = 7
    
'   Use first column to find the last row
    myLastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, myStartCol).End(xlUp).Row
    
'   Build range to apply this to
    Set myRange = Range(Cells(myStartRow, myStartCol), Cells(myLastRow, myEndCol))
    
'   Clear the color of all the cells in range
    myRange.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
    
'   Check to see if cell selected is outside of range
    If Intersect(Target, myRange) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    
'   Highlight the row and column that contain the active cell
    Range(Cells(Target.Row, myStartCol), Cells(Target.Row, myEndCol)).Interior.ColorIndex = 8
Target.Interior.Color = vbGreen
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True


End Sub

Hi,

you can use the application.intersect for a particular range. I used E2to E4

I found this for the uppercase. Works for me.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range("E2:E4")) Is Nothing Then
    Range("D13:D100").Font.Size = 10
    Range("D13:D100").Font.Size = 10
    Range("D13:D100").Name = "Calibri"
    Range("D13:D100").BorderAround xlContinuous, xlThin
    Range("D13:D100").BorderAround xlContinuous, xlThin
   [D13:D100] = [INDEX(UPPER(D13:D100),)]
    Range("B7").Select
End If

If you want the target range over several columns you can use A2:Z4 for example
