Hyperlinks to send email to multiple recipients with multiple CC
Hello Everyone,
Thank you for your support in advance
My query is just to create a hyperlink to be able to send an email to multiple recipients and multiple CC, So I have come so far with this
"=HYPERLINK("mailto:"&$D$6&";"&$D$7&";"&$D$8&";"&$D$9&";"&$D$10&";"&$D$11&"?subject="&$A$2&"&cc="&D12&";"&D13&";"&D14&";"&D15,"Send")"
However, once I type 2nd CC it shows me #value! and I want to add multiple CCs but no errors show in front of me if I type one CC which means if I stop at "D12 "so any ideas on how to solve this issue.

We are using a 'form' to update a Spreadsheet
Is it possible that when asked in the form do you want confirmation email - [tick yes]
For excel to automatically send and email response to the spreadsheet update.
We are using the formula
=HYPERLINK("MailTo:"&BH2&"?Subject="&BI2&"&cc="&$BA$2&"&body="&BJ2,"EMAIL")
to manually do this
But we want - when cell [BD2] is "yes"
outlook will auto send confirmation email.

Did you find a solution? I have the same issue, I cannot figure it out how to solve it... 😞
- EzzEldeanCopper ContributorFirst of all my apologies for my late reply.
Yes, I am using a macro now
Sub SendEmail_Name of the Macro()
Dim EmailApp As Outlook.Application
Dim Source As String
Set EmailApp = New Outlook.Application
Dim emailitem As Outlook.MailItem
Set emailitem = EmailApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
emailitem.To = Range("write down the cell").Value
emailitem.CC = Range("write down the cell").Value
emailitem.Subject = "write down the Subject you want"
emailitem.Body = "Dear Team," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Appreciate your support with the below"
emailitem.Display
End Sub
However, I am struggling with an issue, You can't write down multiple cells as if you want to include the values of multiple cells in the range section, For Example, "Range("A1:B1")", If you type this range the Macro will not work when you run it only works with just one cell like this " Range("A1") ", However, The one who can help you the most is HansVogelaar- Ivana1612Copper ContributorHello EzzEldean
I think the reason is maximum number of characters, in total - calculation all the cells in formula. I have tested and hyperlink is "crashing" on 210 characters and it is working with 209. I googled this and I found some info that 255 characters is maximum, but mine hyperlink was crashing at 210...
I do not know to use macro, but thanks for your reply anyway, it is a sign for me to learn it 🙂
- EzzEldeanCopper ContributorAny Ideas?
Could you attach a sample workbook (without sensitive data), or if that is not possible, make it available through OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or similar? Thanks in advance.

Don't be so impatient! Forum members are users like you who help others as volunteers. Expecting a reply within 20 minutes is not reasonable.
Your formula works OK for me. Make sure that the cells that you refer to contain valid email addresses.
- EzzEldeanCopper ContributorAppreciate your answer.
it's just a task that we need to do that's why we are in a hurry as we have a deadline regardless if you could help me with this matter as it still shows me #value! even after checking.
