Often my work involves processing web page data in excel sheets. This includes extracting the hyperlinks from cell contents. There is no formula for extracting hyperlinks though, you can right click on cell and choose “edit hyperlink” to see which address the cell is linking to. But that is a tedious process especially if you are planning on using the hyperlink for something.
Here is a handy user defined function in VBA for getting hyperlinks from a spreadsheet cell:
Function getURL(forThisCell As Range) As String
'VBA UDF for getting URLs from a cell if any
retVal = ""
If forThisCell.Hyperlinks(1).Address <> "" Then
retVal = forThisCell.Hyperlinks(1).Address
End If
getURL = retVal
End Function
Bonus tip: You can create hyperlink on a cell using “hyperlink()” spreadsheet function. The syntax is simple. =hyperlink("http://chandoo.org/wp","Pointy Haired Dilbert") will create a link in the cell to this blog.

Hi,
I downloaded this 2025 Calendar template. I checked the custom tab. Is it possible to change the weekend Fri & Sat.
Thanks
It is. Just use the option for fri & sat weekend (should be 7).
Activities of some dates are not getting displayed on "Any month" and "printable calendar" sheets.
e.g. Activity of 24 Apr 25.
Can you check again? The date in "planner" sheet should be a proper date. When I tested with 24-apr-2025, it works.
Love this calendar... I have highlight planner dates enabled but all dates are blue, is it possible to customize the color based on the type assigned to each date?
What would be the right way to add more Holidays in the Customizations?
Inserting rows in the Holiday List causes the blank cells in the calendar to turn Blue.
This is amazing!!! The best I've seen so far!! Is it possible to update it to consider a column for the final date? That way, if an event lasts more than one day, it repeats in the calendar
How do we change/insert the customization "Icon Options" ?
You can adjust these from the settings tab.
Is there anyway this can turn into an academic calendar (ie. start month is July and runs all the way through June of next year)?
Is there a way to make it something that is more than a day without having to add it to every day of that week.
