vipguy   10 #1 Posted October 28, 2019 Greetings everyone!  Can anyone help? First, I am a complete beginner with sreadsheets so please be aware when replying.  The Problem I have a list of urls for art which I need to input into my spreadsheet. They need to be exported as a file for bulk uploading in XML format. I was advised to create the XML in notepad for amendment but the problem is all of the URL's need inputting manually and when I have 600 it's worse pain than listening to Madonna sing American Pie! So, as an example I have:  PAINTING 1 www.image-1.com  PAINTING 2 www.image-2.com  PAINTING 3 www.image-3.com  The headings are all the same but it's only the url that changes. I have heard the solution is a hyperlink such as =hyperlink (C2) and referencing the data from another cell for inputting the URL's but there's a problem. The list of Url's is not sequential. It's okay if I have B1,B2, B3 but mine aren't. They are in different cells. For example, A15, A35, A64. So, how is it done? Other points:  Do the Url's need to be copied and pasted into the spreadsheet or can they be read directly from my dropbox or other image hoster? Why is it when there is additional information in a cell does linking using the hyperlink function not pick anything up as regards the url link to the image?  Thank you.    Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Does this quote help from MS forum?:  "Clickability" changed from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007. Consider the case of a very wide column and a very short "friendly name" In 2003, the entire cell appreaded "hot". In 2007, only the "friendly name" portion of the cell is "hot"."  https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/lync/en-US/827809a8-d73e-417e-ae30-f75afbec764f/copypasting-urls-into-excel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
