Insert multiple hyperlinks at same time

Guest

I want to create a row for each document. I have over 100 documents I want
to link to. Does anyone know how to create many hyperlinks at one time
rather than just 1 at a time? I am using Excel 2007.

Say column A contains the list of documents:

C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\book1.xls

In a helper column enter:

=HYPERLINK("file:\\\" & A1,A1)

and copy down. This will produce a nice table of hyperlinks

Could you clarify that? Does that work if you have 100 different files and
you're trying to have 100 different links?

Sorry, just confused.

Thanks,

You have to download a simple program called "File Name Converter"
Once you have that program, Drag all the files you need the file location for into the "File Name Converter" program. It will generate a list. Copy and paste the list into a column of excel.
Once you've done that, do what the previous guy said.
in a helper column, use the formula =HYPERLINK("file:\\\" & A1,A1)

I just did all of this for the first time today and it saved me about a year of linking cells. So thanks everyone.
