Excel Hyperlink to PDF
Hey RayZ1965 ,
I just tested the same approach you used to follow, as long as you zip the folder and the linked pdf files are present in the folder it does seem to work, It could be an issue with office applications on your system the way links are being treated. A better approach would be to simply embed the file in excel as object, like in the article i shared above, that does increase the excel file size but at the same time saves you the hassle of sending out the entire folder.
harveer singh Thank you.
Historically (prior Office versions), I link the pdf to the spreadsheet and save both Excel and PDF in the same folder. If I share it with someone else, I zip the folder and e-mail it to a team member. As a precautionary measure, I embedded the pdf to avoid losing my work product.
My issue is the hyperlinks are not working after I save the Excel and PDF in the same folder. The following day, I go back to the hyper link and get the error message. Is there more than one method to hyperlink a cell?
