This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements.
It is possible to use a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications subroutine
to cycle through all of the hyperlinks within a worksheet and perform a
specific operation on each hyperlink. For example, you could delete all of
the hyperlinks, or you could simply report the location of each hyperlink.
- Create a new workbook in Microsoft Excel.
- On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Visual Basic Editor.
- In the Visual Basic Editor, click Module on the Insert menu.
- Type the following code into the module:
'This Sub procedure deletes all hyperlinks in the active worksheet.
Sub DeleteAllHyperlinks()
For Each xLink In ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks
xLink.Delete
Next xLink
End Sub
'This Sub procedure displays a series of message boxes indicating
'the location of each hyperlink in the active worksheet.
Sub ReportHyperlinkLocations()
For Each xLink In ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks
MsgBox xLink.Range.Address
Next xLink
End Sub
'This Sub procedure identifies each hyperlink and asks if you want
'to delete it. If you click Yes, the hyperlink is deleted.
Sub ReportAndDeleteHyperlinks()
For Each xLink In ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks
Response = MsgBox("Delete hyperlink in cell " & _
xLink.Range.Address & " ?", vbYesNo)
If Response = vbYes Then xLink.Delete
Next xLink
End Sub
'This Sub procedure selects all cells in the worksheet that contain
'hyperlinks. You can then clear the selected cells to delete all of
'the hyperlinks.
Sub SelectAllHyperlinkCells()
FirstCell = 1
For Each xLink In ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks
If FirstCell = 1 Then
Set xRange = xLink.Range
FirstCell = 0
Else
Set xRange = Application.Union(xRange, xLink.Range)
End If
Next xLink
xRange.Select
End Sub
- On the File menu, click "Close and Return To Microsoft Excel."
If you insert some hyperlinks into your worksheet, you can try running the
different macros by pointing to Macro on the Tools menu and clicking
Macros. Then, select the name of the macro to run, and click Run.
