Good morning! I'm working on a formula that will create a hyperlink that points to the same cell in which it resides. Here's what I have:

Excel Formula:
=HYPERLINK("#Calendar!C7",AS7)

Calendar is the Sheet name, C7 is the cell the formula is in, and AS7 is the cell that provides the "friendly name."

In the Sheet's code is this:

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_FollowHyperlink(ByVal Target As Hyperlink)

    If Target.Range.Column = 3 Then Call OpenSearchEditFill
        
End Sub

I'm not getting an error, but Call OpenSearchEditFill isn't firing.

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Also tried this:

Excel Formula:
=HYPERLINK(GZ7 & " - " &  "Calendar!C7",AS7)

...with this in GZ7:

Excel Formula:
file:///\\GLC-SERVER\Test\Test.xlsm

That throws a "can't open specified file" error.
