I wanted to create hyperlinks to open PDF files, based on the full filepath.

See example below.
Is there a way to turn this formula into a link that shows "Myfile.pdf" at the end ... in one step to prevent copy and paste, and then double clicking each cell to turn into a link ... without VBA.
Excel Formula:
="="&"HYPERLINK("&""""&I28&""""&","&""""&RIGHT(I28,MATCH("\",MID(I28,SEQUENCE(LEN(I28),,LEN(I28),-1),1),0)-1)&""""&")"
