Renaming a web hyperlink after linking it from another tab
I'm not fully understanding your question, however, I want to point out that you the option to name a hyperlinked cell with a different name than the hyperlink itself.
You can right-click on a cell, click on link/ edit link and then you will get to a window like the below:
The area marked in blue is where you can enter a custom name for your hyperlink and the area marked in red is where you can enter the hyperlink itself. after you are done, just click OK.
About the HYPERLINK function, you need to make sure to enter both the address and friendly name arguments between double-quotes.
for example = HYPERLINK("http://www.ExcelBonanza.com", "Excel Bonanza Website")
Hope that helps.
let me know if that works for you.

Thank you for the response! I have tried this and it is not working and also not giving me the option to do a right click and "edit hyperlink". I think it is because I am pulling the hyperlink from another tab vs. just typing it into the cell. In the past I am beginning to think its not possible to do what I am trying. AAbdou
Hi exceluser6614 ,
I'm still not fully understanding your problem or what you need to do. If you would be able to post screenshots to explain more that would be great.

Hello,
I posted screen shots below.
In the first screen shot you see that I have a list of hyperlinks on the master tab.
On the second screen shot you will see that by using the HYPERLINK function I am linking a cell on sheet 1 to a hyperlink on the master tab.
The third screen shot below shows what happens when I try to add a friendly name. The friendly name shows up when when you click on it you get the error message below.
I believe this is happening because I am linking to a cell on the master tab and not typing in a hyperlink on this page. I need the hyperlinks on sheet 1, 2, 3 etc to link back to the master tab so that when I make a change on the master tab it automatically makes the change in the other sheets.
As in your third screenshort try to change text "Master!A1" on reference Master!A1. In general it works:
Master:
Another sheet:
Google is opened correctly from here.
