What are Hyperlinks ?
A Hyperlink is a reference to a document, a location or an action that the reader can directly follow by selecting the link.
Hyperlinks are used extensively on the Internet and are generally Words highlighted in Underlined Blue <– Like that.
The use of Hyperlinks in Excel has been extended to a number of areas and this includes:
- Opening Files (of any type)
- Opening Web Pages (Internet or Intranet)
- Jumping/Navigating to locations within an existing document
- Creating New Documents (Excel files only)
- Sending Emails
Microsoft has added the ability to place Hyperlinks,
- Directly on an Excel worksheet ,
- Connected to a number of worksheet objects, including shapes, charts and wordart
- Included as a worksheet formulas.
- Programmatically using VBA
These 4 methods above will be discussed here.
Inserting Hyperlinks
As described above there are 4 methods for inserting hyperlinks in an Excel Workbook.
Directly on an Excel worksheet
There are 3 ways to insert a Hyperlink directly into a cell, either:
Right click on the cell and select Hyperlink; or
Use the Insert, Hyperlinks Tab; or
Use a Keyboard Shortcut – Ctrl K
Connected to a number of worksheet objects, including shapes, charts and wordart
You can also add a Hyperlink to many objects within Excel including Pictures, Shapes, Text Boxes, Word Art and Charts.
Right clicking a lot of these objects brings up the Objects Shortcuts Menu, select Hyperlink…,
or
Select the object, Use the Insert, Hyperlinks Tab; or
Select the Object and Use the Keyboard Shortcut – Ctrl K
Hint: Right Clicking on Charts Doesn’t Show the Add Hyperlink option, so Select the Chart and Ctrl K
Adding Hyperlinks using Worksheet Formulas.
Hyperlinks can be added using worksheet formulas.
=HYPERLINK( Link Location, Name)
Link Location: This is the path and file name to the document to be opened.
The Link Location can refer to a place in a document – such as a specific cell or named range in an Excel worksheet or workbook, or to a bookmark in a Microsoft Word document. The path can be to a file that is stored on a hard disk drive. The path can also be the path on a server or a URL, HTTP or FTP and a location of an object, document, World Wide Web page, or other destination on the Internet or an intranet. The Link Location can be a text string enclosed in quotation marks or a reference to a cell that contains the link as a text string.
Name: This is the text or value that is displayed in the cell. The Name is displayed in blue and is underlined.
Eg:
Jump to a cell on Another sheet
=HYPERLINK(Sheet3!B3,”Monthly Budget”)
The above will add a Hyperlink, titled “Monthly Budget” and link to Sheet3!B3 of the current workbook
Jump to a Named Range on Another sheet
=HYPERLINK(Budget,”Yearly Budget”)
The above will add a Hyperlink, titled “Yearly Budget” and link to the Named Range “Budget” of the current workbook
Open a File on a network Drive
=HYPERLINK(“//Server01\01 Administration\Administration.docx”,”Open Admin File”)
The above will add a Hyperlink, titled “Open Admin File” and link to the file at: //Server01\01 Administration\Administration.docx
Open a File on a network Drive at a specific bookmark
=HYPERLINK(“[//Server01\01 Administration\Administration.docx]Contents”,”Open Admin File @ TOC”)
The above will add a Hyperlink, titled “Open Admin File @ TOC” and link to the Named Section “Contents” of the file at: //Server01\01 Administration\Administration.docx
Jump to a Web Page
=HYPERLINK(“http://chandoo.org/wp/”,”Goto Chandoo.org”)
The above will add a Hyperlink, titled “Goto Chandoo.org” and link to http://chandoo.org/wp/
Send an Email
=HYPERLINK(“mailto:chandoo.d@gmail.com”,”Email Chandoo”)
The above will add a Hyperlink, titled “Email Chandoo” and send an email to chandoo.d@gmail.com
Adding Hyperlinks Programmatically using VBA
Hyperlinks can be added to a worksheet or a worksheet object programmatically using some simple code
Sheets(SheetName).Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Sheets(SheetName).Range(Range), Address:=””, SubAddress:=”Address!Range“, TextToDisplay:=NameWhere:
SheetName: The Name of the Sheet where the Hyperlink is to go
Range: The Range where the Hyperlink is to go
Address!Range: The address and Range linked to in the Hyperlink
Name: The Display Name of the Hyperlink
Types of Hyperlinks
There are 5 Types of Hyperlinks which Excel offers, each is described below:
- Existing File
- Existing Web Page
- Place in This Document
- Create a New Document
- Send an Email Link

Editing Hyperlinks
Once you have a hyperlink established you can edit the hyperlink by right click on the hyperlink and select Edit Hyperlink
The Edit Hyperlink dialog will vary depending on the type of Hyperlink as described above.
Deleting Hyperlinks
Once you have a hyperlink established you can delete the hyperlink by right click on the hyperlink and select Remove Hyperlink
Hyperlink Uses
Hyperlink can be used for a number of uses as described above.
Tables of Contents
One common use of hyperlinks is the creation of Tables of Contents.
The construction of a Table of Contents page was discussed here Table of Contents
The construction of Tables of Contents can also be automated using some simple VBA.
So instead of reinventing the wheel I will direct you to The Microsoft Office Blog where Tables of Conents were recently discussed.
Table of Contents 1 or Table of Contents 2

53 Responses to “Conditionally play sounds when a cell value changes”
There is another alternative of doing this quite easily: Yes, Excel is able to talk to you!
Assume you are having a calculated or otherwise changing value in cell A1 (e.g. =RANDBETWEEN(0,100)), a threshold in cell B1 (e.g. 50) and a text in cell C1 (e.g. "Threshold exceeded").
Go to the VBA-editor (ALT-F11) and copy the the following procedure into the corresponding sheet:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
If Range("A1").Value > Range("B1").Value Then
Application.Speech.Speak (Range("C1").Value)
End If
End Sub
Excel will read the text in cell C1, whenever the value in cell A1 is large than the threshold in cell B1. Turn your speakers on and play with cell C1. It sounds a bit funny sometimes, especially when you try to make Excel read texts in other languages than English. But it works...
I'm trying to use UDF and the speech aspect. I want a cell to calculate character total and when it reaches a limit it will speak the value. For some reason I can't get any UDF to show up in the list or work. I've tried simple ones such as:
Function BeepOnce()
Beep
End Function
with: =If (B3>30, BeepOnce(),"") in the cell but it gives errors. Confused.
When a cel char count reaches 30 and I'm typin gfast, it will report the number.
Im a blind writer and this would be very helpful. I can't get any to work though. Can't get any UDF to show up anywhere.
I tried keying in the code exactly as you have:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
If Range("cx15").Value > Range("cy15").Value Then
Application.Speech.Speak (Range("cz15").Value)
End If
End Sub
When I try to run the condition, I get a compliation error.
The formula in my excel spreadsheet in cx 15 is: =IF(CO15>120,1,0)
cy 15 = 0
cz 15 = "Less than 120 days"
I'm driving myself crazy - HELP!!
@Mary
The code you supplied and below works as it should in Excel 2007
===
Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
If Range("CX15").Value > Range("CY15").Value Then
Application.Speech.Speak (Range("CZ15").Value)
End If
End Sub
===
There are 2 reasons it maynot be working
1. Make sure it is on a Worksheet Object in VBA for the page you are working on not in a general code module
2. Make sure the " characters are real, often you can copy and paste text from here and although the " mark look ok, they are not the correct characters, If it isn't working retype them all
Hi Hui,
The SPeech VBA is working...but it reacts to all the changes that is taking place in various cells in the sheet. I need this speech vba to react to only when changes happen in a particular cell (A1) and particular sheet...is there a vba that can help me find a solution. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
@Anil
Some of the comments above discuss that requirement
Please read those first
YEAH - thanks so much Hui. I had it in the general code module.
Another question?
Can I have this function check a range of cells in Excel?
The code as it is now is checking cells CX15, CY15 and CZ15
I need it to check from rows 15 - 45?
@Mary
Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim myText as String
For Each c In Range("CX15:CX45")
If c.Value > c.Offset(0, 1).Value Then
myText = "Row" + Str(c.Row) + " " + c.Offset(0, 2).Text
Application.Speech.Speak (myText)
End If
Next
End Sub
I keyed in the code exactly as above and I get a runtime error 1004 - application defined or object defined error.
Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim myText as String
For Each c In Range(”CX15:CX45?)
If c.Value > c.Offset(0, 1).Value Then
myText = “Row” + Str(c.Row) + ” ” + c.Offset(0, 2).Text
Application.Speech.Speak (myText)
End If
Next
End Sub
The formula in my excel spreadsheet in cx 15 is: =IF(CO15>120,0,1)
cy 15 = 0
cz 15 = “Less than 120 days”
The code is in a VBA worksheet - any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong?
Mary
you need to be very careful copying text of the web
There are times where a character " will copy and look like a " but is in fact not a "
If you have copied the above go through the code and manually replace all the " characters with a " character
Also make sure the code is on the code page for the sheet you are working on, not a code generic module page in VBA
The above string works wonderfully - however, every keystroke in Excel initiates the function. Is there a way I can set it to run on command?
Mary
The following will run whenever there is only a change in the area CX15:CZ45
.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim myText As String
Dim TR As Integer
Dim TC As Integer
TR = Target.Row
TC = Target.Column
If TC >= 102 And TC = 15 And TR c.Offset(0, 1).Value Then
myText = "Row" + Str(c.Row) + " " + c.Offset(0, 2).Text
Application.Speech.Speak (myText)
End If
Next
End If
End Sub`
.
Otherwise you can go back to the following code and add a Button or a Shape to your worksheet and link the macro to it so that it only runs when you click on it
.
Sub Speak()
Dim myText As String
For Each c In Range("CX15:CX45")
If c.Value > c.Offset(0, 1).Value Then
myText = "Row" + Str(c.Row) + " " + c.Offset(0, 2).Text
Application.Speech.Speak (myText)
End If
Next
End Sub
Hey Hui,
I came across this site by mistake.
Man this is so COOL.
Will this also work as
Column A has all Names, Column B is Blank.
When a Cell in Column B is not Blank ("") then speak the corresponding name in Column A
It doesn't make any sense to write multiple if-then statements to make it work.
I know I caught this few months late, but I could really use this
Thanks
@Amin
Try the following
Copy and paste it into a Worksheet Module for the Worksheet in VBA you are working on
Hui,
It works but it repeats all name as:
Cell A1=John, A2=David, A3=Lisa.
When Cell B1 is not Blank then is speaks John.
Next when Cell B2 is not Blank it speaks John and David. Second time it should only speak David (fyi B1 and B2 both are not blank)
example: I want it to speak when certain individual logs in. But procedure, when someone logs in it speaks all the people who have already logged in.
how should I change that?
Thanks for assistance.
@Amin
Try this modification
Thanks Hui that worked perfectly.
How do I make it work with 4 sets of columns
Same as before but with 8 columns
Columns(A,C,E,G) have names.
Columns(B,D,F,H) are blank to start with.
I tried to few ideas my way but nothing worked
@Amin
I need a Excel Speaking code for the below condition
If I3 ="Buy Alert" ' If I3 cell has Buy alert Text then, sound should be like " Vivek Buy Alert For Infosys(next cell text) and
If I3 ="Sell Alert" ' If I3 cell has Buy alert Text then, sound should be like " Vivek Sell Alert For Infosys(next cell text)
Please help me to fix this in my excel
This is soo cool. Im looking for a similar thing

hi hui,
i am a trader in stock market
i can export stock rate to excel sheet from my trading software..
is it possible that when stock rate changes the cell speaks means, e.g.( if stock rate is 25 and if it changes to 26 then cell should speak twenty six,if it further changes to 26.50 it speaks twenty six point fifty)
hope u can understand my problem.
waiting for your reply

HI
I HAD A LOOK AT YOUR SUGGESTIONS BUT UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND
I AM USING OFFICE 2003,
I TRIED THIS

PLEASE HELP ME....
I am using the following code for sound. It was working well but has suddenly stopped respondig. Could u help relating to the matter

Hey Hui, Great stuff really helpful, Although I am having the same issue as Amin, where any keystroke entered prompts the text to speech. I tried fitting in your fix for Amin but I didn't have success, below is the code I am successfully using, however each keystroke prompts the voice, and the voice lists each cell that qualifies the formula I am using.
Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim myText As String
For Each c In Range("bf4:bf45")
If c.Value = 1 Then
myText = c.Offset(0, -57).Text
Application.Speech.Speak (myText)
End If
Next
End Sub
I tried
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 1 Then Application.Speech.Speak (Target.Offset(0, -57).Text)
End Sub
any Mods to limit the speech to only what was most recently qualified?
@Elliot
Try:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target = 1 And _
Target.Column = 58 And _
Target.Row >= 4 And _
Target.Row <= 45 Then _ Application.Speech.Speak Target.Offset(0, -57).Text End Sub
Hi Hui,
I tried that code
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target = 1 And _
Target.Column = 58 And _
Target.Row >= 4 And _
Target.Row
Thanks
Seems like the previous cut off the rest of my message, anyways above code the object module didnt allow me to step inot it, I keep getting a pinging, while on the same object module I inserted the previous code I had running and it allows me to step in! Confusing.
Thanks.
Hey Hui,
So the code works, I discovered the code does not recognize the column because each cell in the column is an if then formula with a returned value, such as "1" for true "0' for false, it only works when I remove the formula and insert a 1 in a cell, any vba fixes for this, or I can try a temp. workaround.
Hey Hui,
Disregard the above. The code works, however only after I hit enter in the target column, When the column updates by itself the code doesn't fire.
Hi Hui,
Amaze to see all the above information. I hope even I get a solution to my problem.
I am trying to use this excel as a token machine. I have linked up this token sheet with other sheet which shared by four users. If any off the users changes the token number, it gets change in our main display but the problem it doesnt say the token number. WHAT I EXACTLY WANT IS AS THE VALUE GETS CHANGED IN ANYONE OF THIS SPECIFIED CELLS (B4, B5, B6 & B7 THE EXCEL MUST ANNOUNCE THE NUMBER. For example If in cell B4 the number 7 comes, so the excel should tell " TOKEN NUMBER 7", after that in cell B7 is updated 21, so its should again tell as " TOKEN NUMBER 21"... and so on it should keep doing the same.
I hope I get my solution at the earliest.
Thanks

Alert Summary
EM 22.8%
FIN 22.1%
ENERGY 18.1%
SPX 24.0%
NDX 27.0%
RUSSELL 23.5%
Each of the percentages is a link to a separate page in the work book. For example, the 22.8% is actually =+EM!D10 which is the answer to the following formula =((ABS(G7/((F7+F6)/2))))
I want some sound alert that will tell me when the value is greater than 35%. Since the spread sheet dlynamically update every second, I would assume that a ding ding ding repeating would work fine.
Can you give me a step by step on creating an appropriate macro that I can run when I am afc. I have no programming skills but can cut and paste or retype with the best of them 😉
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. BTW the range on the Dash board that I want to cover is b10...b15
Dear Huai,
is there a way to have a vba code to make a sound alert dynamically when a condition is met without running the module or have a button? I tried the options above and beep now commands but no luck.
More explicit instruction are required. Where exactly does one put:
Function beepNow()
Beep
End Function
??
Dear Sir (Hui),
Pls help me to provide such a excelmacro code so that I can easily heard a specified Sound of the text which I want when the criteria or the condition happened.It may be Hello/Congratulations etc.
Suppose A120=SUM(A5:A119) &
D120=SUM(D5:D119)
G120=A120-D120
Condition:IF(G120=0,"hello"/"congratulations "
Otherwise "Sorry" / "be patience"
Please help if possible.

Hi,
I need a code for the cells speak
auto matically with a regular interval of 10 min.means after every 10 min my cells speak.
Hi Hui,
Hope you are in good health and doing well. I was surfing the internet for some excel solutions for my workbook and I came across some very good solutions by you. Hence, I am writing to you to get some insights to my problem
So here it goes,
I have a software which gives me live stock prices in excel and I have added all my analysis to that file so that I can get Long and Short Calls for the scrips I analyze. Now, there are around 200 companies that I analyse and the calls appear as the stock price change and reach my buying or selling levels.
I need my excel to say the companies name which is in cell C2 when "Long" / "Short" text appears in my cell B2 which has my analysis formulas. Current market price is in A2
Also I need this for a range as I mentioned I have 200 companies.
I really hope you can help me with this.
This is what I have tried uptill now, but this works for one cell and not a range
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$A$2" Then
If Range("B2").Value = "50" Then
Application.Speech.Speak (Range("C3").Value)
End If
End If
End Sub
Please Find me a Solution
Thank You,
