Copy Hyperlinks to other cells

[DaveM]

Hi all

Been trying to do this for over an hour now, with no joy.

sheet1 A1 to A36, The text values that have hyperlinks to files on harddrive

sheet2 Column A has lots of the same text values as sheet1, some cells have
a little extra text at the end.

how can I get the hyperlinks from sheet1 to all cells that contain the same
text, to sheet2

Thanks in advance

Dave

Set lHyperLinkList = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

Hello -

You can use the following to do that. Please note that I store the
hyperlinks in a Scripting.Dictionary for some other reasons. You
might not have to do that. lSheetORG is the original Worksheet and
lSheetOUT is the target Worksheet.

Set lHyperLinkList = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

For Each lHyperlink In lSheetORG.Hyperlinks
Call lHyperLinkList.Add("C" & lHyperlink.Range.Row,
lHyperlink.Address)
Next lHyperlink

lSheetOUT.Hyperlinks.Delete

lKeys = lHyperLinkList.keys
lItems = lHyperLinkList.items

For i = 0 To lHyperLinkList.Count - 1
Set lRange = lSheetOUT.Range(lKeys(i))

lSheetOUT.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=lRange, Address:=lItems(i),
TextToDisplay:=lRange.Value
Next i

Hope this works for you ...

Hi Joe

Error Object required

For Each lHyperlink In Sheet1.Hyperlinks

VBE shows yellow debug on line above.

Thanks for your help

Hello Dave -

This is strange ... works just fine for me and that on a sheet without
any hyperlinks.

Do you have a Sheet1?

Did you try to create something like ...
Set lSheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("NAME")
.... and use that?

Hi Joe

Hello -

I tweaked the code you sent in your last message. You just need to
rename SOURCE and TARGET to whatever the worksheets are called (i.e.
the names of their tabs).

Sub HyperList()
Set lHyperLinkList = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

Set lSheetORG = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SOURCE")
Set lSheetOUT = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("TARGET")

For Each lHyperlink In lSheetORG.Hyperlinks
Call lHyperLinkList.Add("C" & lHyperlink.Range.Row,
lHyperlink.Address)
Next lHyperlink

lSheetOUT.Hyperlinks.Delete

lKeys = lHyperLinkList.keys
lItems = lHyperLinkList.items

For i = 0 To lHyperLinkList.Count - 1
Set lRange = lSheetOUT.Range(lKeys(i))

lSheetOUT.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=lRange, Address:=lItems(i),
TextToDisplay:=lRange.Value
Next i
End Sub

Hi Joe

Sub HyperList()
Set lHyperLinkList = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

Set lSheetORG = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("sheet1")
Set lSheetOUT = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("sheet2")

For Each lHyperlink In lSheetORG.Hyperlinks

"when run I get yellow arrow in VBE here on this line" Call
lHyperLinkList.Add("C" & lHyperlink.Range.Row, lHyperlink.Address)

Next lHyperlink

lSheetOUT.Hyperlinks.Delete

lKeys = lHyperLinkList.keys
lItems = lHyperLinkList.items

For i = 0 To lHyperLinkList.Count - 1
Set lRange = lSheetOUT.Range(lKeys(i))

lSheetOUT.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=lRange, Address:=lItems(i),
TextToDisplay:=lRange.Value
Next i
End Sub

Thanks

Hello -

Did you check in the debugger what the value of lHyperlink.Range.Row
is?

You really don't need to use the Script.Dictionary but can copy over
the hyperlinks directly. I just had to do it for another reason.

Hi Joe

How do I check in the debugger what the value of lHyperlink.Range.Row is

I'm still learning

Sub HyperList()
Set lHyperLinkList = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

Set lSheetORG = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("sheet1")
Set lSheetOUT = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("sheet2")

For Each lHyperlink In lSheetORG.Hyperlinks
"yellow arrow here" Call lHyperLinkList.Add("C" & lHyperlink.Range.Row,
lHyperlink.Address)
Next lHyperlink

lSheetOUT.Hyperlinks.Delete

lKeys = lHyperLinkList.keys
lItems = lHyperLinkList.items

For i = 0 To lHyperLinkList.Count - 1
Set lRange = lSheetOUT.Range(lKeys(i))

lSheetOUT.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=lRange, Address:=lItems(i),
TextToDisplay:=lRange.Value
Next i
End Sub

I have tried

'Set lHyperLinkList = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

Thanks Joe

Hello -

Sorry for the late response but I was gone for a few days.

In order to look at lHyperlink.Range.Row, you just right-click and
select Add Watch... or drag and drop the selection into the Watches
pane.
