Hyperlinks are URL attached to a value that one may see when we hover the mouse over it. When we click on it, the URL opens. In VBA, we have an inbuilt property to create hyperlinks in VBA. To use this property, we must use the Add method together with the hyperlink statement to insert a hyperlink in a cell.

Hyperlinks in Excel VBA

Even though we have Page Up and Page Down shortcut key in excelAn Excel shortcut is a technique of performing a manual task in a quicker way.read more to move from one sheet to another. But it becomes complex when we have to move between 10 to more worksheets. It is where the beauty of “Hyperlinks in Excel” comes into the picture. The hyperlink is a predetermined URL that takes you to the respective cell or worksheet as assigned.

We all know how to quickly create hyperlinks in the worksheet to move from one sheet to another. But, of course, you can also go to any other sheet. But in today’s article, we will show you how to create hyperlinks using VBA coding.

The formula of VBA Hyperlinks

Let us look at the formula of the hyperlinks in Excel VBA.

• Anchor: In which cell would you like to create a hyperlink?
• Address: What is the URL to the hyperlink to navigate?
• [Sub Address]: What is the location of the page?
• [Screen Tip]: What is the value shown when you place a mouse pointer on the hyperlink name or cell?
• [Text to Display]: What test will display in the cell? For example, Worksheet Name.

How to Create Hyperlinks in Excel VBA?

Assume you want to create a VBA hyperlink to the “Main Sheet” sheet from the other sheet, “Example 1.”

In the worksheet “Example 1” and cell A1, we will create the hyperlink using Code in VBAVBA code refers to a set of instructions written by the user in the Visual Basic Applications programming language on a Visual Basic Editor (VBE) to perform a specific task.read more.

Step 1: First, select the cell A1 of the worksheet example 1.

Code:

Sub Hyperlink_Example1()

   Worksheets("Example 1").Select
   Range("A1").Select

End Sub

Step 2: Now, open hyperlinks using the Active Cell object. Add method.

Code:

Sub Hyperlink_Example1()

  Worksheets("Example 1").Select
  Range("A1").Select

  ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add(

End Sub

Step 3: The first argument is “Anchor,” i.e., in which cell we would link to create the VBA hyperlink. In this case, cell A1 and since we have already selected cell A1 to mention it as “Selection.”

Code:

Sub Hyperlink_Example1()

   Worksheets("Example 1").Select
   Range("A1").Select

   ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add(Selection,

End Sub

Step 4: We are not creating any address here, so ignore the Address as of now.

Code:

Sub Hyperlink_Example1()

   Worksheets("Example 1").Select
   Range("A1").Select

   ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:= Selection, Address:="",
 
End Sub

Step 5: Next is ‘Sub Address.’ Here, we need to mention which sheet we are referring to and the first cell of that sheet.

Code:

Sub Hyperlink_Example1()

Worksheets("Example 1").Select
Range("A1").Select

ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection, Address:="", SubAddress:="'Main Sheet'!A1",

End Sub

We have mentioned the sheet name as “Main Sheet.” In that sheet cell address is “A1.”

Step 6: Ignore the screen tip as well. For text to display, mention the sheet name.

Code:

Sub Hyperlink_Example1()

Worksheets("Example 1").Select
Range("A1").Select

ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection, Address:="", SubAddress:="'Main Sheet'!A1", TextToDisplay:="Main Sheet"

End Sub

Run this code using the F5 key or manually. Then, it will create a hyperlink in cell A1 in the sheet “Example 1.”

When you click on the hyperlink “Main Sheet,” it redirects to the main sheet.

Hyperlinks of Multiple Sheets with Loops

We have seen creating a VBA hyperlink for one sheet. However, when we have many sheets, it isn’t easy to create a VBA hyperlink for each sheet with the same line of code.

Assume you have 11 worksheets, as shown in the below image.

You want to create a hyperlink for each sheet in the Index sheet using VBA code.

Step 1: Define the variable as a worksheet.

Code:

Sub Create_Hyperlink()

Dim Ws As Worksheet

End Sub

Step 2: The first thing is to select the worksheet Index and select cell A1.

Code:

Sub Create_Hyperlink()

Dim Ws As Worksheet

Worksheets("Index").Select
Range("A1").Select

End Sub

Step 3: Now, open For Each Loop in VBAVBA For Each Loop helps the user to inspect and analyze the groups of objects or values individually. It even facilitates performing the specific activity for every object or value by passing a statement or group of statements in this reference.read more.

Code:

Sub Create_Hyperlink()

Dim Ws As Worksheet

Worksheets("Index").Select
Range("A1").Select

For Each Ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets

Next Ws

End Sub

Step 4: Since we have selected cell A1, it is now an active cell. So, start the hyperlink with the active cell.

Code:

Sub Create_Hyperlink()

Dim Ws As Worksheet

Worksheets("Index").Select
Range("A1").Select

For Each Ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add(

Next Ws

End Sub

Step 5: An anchor is a hyperlink cell. So, it is the active cell.

Code:

Sub Create_Hyperlink()

Dim Ws As Worksheet

Worksheets("Index").Select
Range("A1").Select

For Each Ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=ActiveCell,

Next Ws

End Sub

Step 6: Address is nothing mentioned it as “.

Code:

Sub Create_Hyperlink()

Dim Ws As Worksheet

Worksheets("Index").Select
Range("A1").Select

For Each Ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=ActiveCell,Address:="",

Next Ws

End Sub

Step 7: Subaddress: When we loop through the sheet, it should be the sheet name. To refer to the sheet name, we need a single quote, “’” with sheet name and “! Cell Address,” and close the sheet name with a single quote “’.”

Code:

Sub Create_Hyperlink()

Dim Ws As Worksheet

Worksheets("Index").Select
Range("A1").Select

For Each Ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=ActiveCell,Address:="",SubAddress:=""& Ws.Name&"!A1"&"",

Next Ws

End Sub

Step 8: Ignore the screen tip. For text to display, you can enter the worksheet name.

Code:

Sub Create_Hyperlink()

Dim Ws As Worksheet

Worksheets("Index").Select
Range("A1").Select

For Each Ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=ActiveCell, Address:="", SubAddress:="" & Ws.Name & "!A1" & "", ScreenTip:="", TextToDisplay:=Ws.Name
Next Ws

End Sub

Step 9: To store the hyperlink of each sheet in a different cell, every time a hyperlink, one must create it for one sheet. We need to move down one cell from the active cell.

Code:

Sub Create_Hyperlink()

Dim Ws As Worksheet

Worksheets("Index").Select
Range("A1").Select

For Each Ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=ActiveCell, Address:="", SubAddress:="" & Ws.Name & "!A1" & "", ScreenTip:="", TextToDisplay:=Ws.Name
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select

Next Ws

End Sub

It will create a hyperlink of all the sheets in the Index sheet. This code is dynamic whenever there is any addition or deletion of sheets. Therefore, we need to run this code to have an updated hyperlink.

Здравствуйте, Евгений.
Подскажите пожалуйста, как можно определить адрес ячейки, которая содержит гиперссылку? А если ячеек с гиперссылками несколько, то как определить адрес последней (нижней правой) из них?

Здравствуйте, Юрий!
Ответ добавил в конец статьи.

Добрый день!
Скажите, пожалуйста, как сделать, чтобы в переменную Address:= вставлять не конкретный адрес, а скопированную ссылку из буфера обмена?
Заранее спасибо!

Решил проблему вот так вот:

Добрый день!
У меня в очередной раз «зачудила» книга Excell. Сама поменяла родные адреса гиперссылок в Инет во многих ячейках на один, которые понравившейся ей, меняя лишь концовку 1649, 1650, …. .
В отладчике VBA вышел на этот список подмены: Range(«L10»). Hyperlinks.Items 1.Formyla[1…5] содержащий 5 вставляемых ею адресов. В VBA не удалось добраться до этих формул.
Скажите, пожалуйста, можно ли программно восстановить стоящие ранее адреса? И как это сделать? И можно ли ей запретить так своевольничать?

Здравствуйте, Павел!
Я не знаю, как восстановить предыдущую версию файла Excel. Есть что-то у разработчиков, но это не программно.
Код, который перезаписывает гиперссылки, поищите в модулях книги и листа. Процедуры, размещенные в этих модулях, могут запускаться самостоятельно при совершении определенных событий, к которым они привязаны.

Здравствуйте, Евгений!
Спасибо за ответ. Отрицательный ответ, когда книга шибко нужна, лишь стимулирует поиск решения. Буду делать ей “костыли”, гиперссылки превращу в обычный текст и, как лучший вариант, хотел бы запускать их программно без привязки к конкретной ячейке конкретного листа конкретной книги.
Скажите, пожалуйста, есть ли возможность программно запускать гиперссылку на открытие страницы в Инете? Без привязки к конкретной ячейке.

If you want to create hyperlink across multiple worksheets it is also possible. In this example, we have multiple sheets within the same workbook. Different type of excel functions exists so from the main worksheet ‘Functions’. Let’s try to create a hyperlink to the different worksheet named with different functions using VBA code:

The multiple worksheets are named as below with different excel function names

Since we want to create a hyperlink to each worksheet it’s difficult to repeat the code. Follow the below steps to create a hyperlink using VBA Code in Excel:

Step 1: Create a variable to deal with worksheet easily.

Code:

Private Sub hyper2()

Dim ws As Worksheet

End Sub

Step 2: Now we want to select the main page which acts as an index page and select the cell range A1.

Code:

Private Sub hyper2()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Worksheets("Functions").Select
Range("A1").Select

End Sub

Step 3: To move through multiple worksheet and hyperlink we are creating a for each loop. A1 is already selected as active cell so creating a hyperlink from this.

Code:

Private Sub hyper2()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Worksheets("Functions").Select
Range("A1").Select

For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=ActiveCell
Next ws

End Sub

Step 4: Provide the parameter values to create a hyperlink for each worksheet. Since hyperlink starts from active cell anchor=Active cell, the address is given as ” “.

Code:

Private Sub hyper2()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Worksheets("Functions").Select
Range("A1").Select

For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=ActiveCell, Address:=""
Next ws

End Sub

Step 5: The hyperlink is looped through worksheet so we should give subaddress as sheet names. To get the sheet names we can use the variable ws and cell range as A1. The sheet name will have referred with a single quotation. Sheet name and range will be specified and also closed with a single quotation.

Code:

Private Sub hyper2()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Worksheets("Functions").Select
Range("A1").Select

For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=ActiveCell, Address:="", SubAddress:="" & ws.Name & "!A1" & ""
Next ws

End Sub

Step 6: To get the hyperlink with sheet name gives TextToDisplay as ws.Name

Code:

Private Sub hyper2()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Worksheets("Functions").Select
Range("A1").Select

For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=ActiveCell, Address:="", SubAddress:="" & ws.Name & "!A1" & "", TextToDisplay:=ws.Name
Next ws

End Sub

This code will store hyperlink for each worksheet in the same cell A1.

Step 7: To change this each sheet to different cell down one cell from the active cell.

Code:

Private Sub hyper2()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Worksheets("Functions").Select
Range("A1").Select

For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=ActiveCell, Address:="", SubAddress:="" & ws.Name & "!A1" & "", TextToDisplay:=ws.Name
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Next ws

End Sub
