I am trying to figure out a way to insert link to open certain files that are stored on a server, however not everyone has them mapped to the same drive as i do. I cannot seam to find a solution to this online. any help would be greatly appreciated.

i have my server files mapped to the D drive and the open just fine, a co worker has theirs mapped to the S drive and it will not open. is there a way to get around this with out 20-30 plus ppl remapping their drives to the D drive.

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Use UNC path. Something like:
\\ServerNameHere\TopFolder\NextFolder\etc.

You should be able to see the details by going to the properties - probably by right clicking on the drive letter that you have mapped to it.
