VBA to change Hyperlink screen text

[bobbych]

​

I have a spreadsheet in which a lot of Text was pasted from another source. Col F contains a list of URLs, all different. The URLs are not clickable. I found some code that changed them to be clickable but I also want to code to change the screen text to "Link" for all URLs.

Option Explicit
 
Sub ChangeHyperlinks()
 
Dim LR As Long, cell As Range
 
On Error Resume Next
 
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
 
LR = Cells(Rows.Count, "F").End(xlUp).Row
 
For Each cell In ActiveSheet.Range("F2:F" & LR)
    cell.Hyperlinks.Add Range(cell.Address), Address:=cell.Value, TextToDisplay:="Link"
Next cell
 
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
 
End Sub

Amend F2 to the first cell your links are in. Ie F5 or F1.
This should do everything you need including making them clickable
