How to import a list of links into Excel?

E

Eric

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to import a list of links in to Excel?
Under the sheet "Date", there is a list of http links under column C, and a
list of name under column B, I would like to import each link into specific
sheet at cell A1. For example, in sheet "Date", there is a link www.cnn.com
in cell C2, and 1 in cell B2, so this link is imported into sheet "1", and
keep running the rest of links.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do it in Excel macro?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Eric

Hi Eric

If you have numerics in ColB of Sheet 'Date' try the below. Please make sure
you try the below in a saved workbook. For the sheet named "1" the formula
will return the corresponding link as a hyperlink...

=HYPERLINK("http://" &
VLOOKUP(INT(REPLACE(CELL("Filename",A1),1,FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1)),"")),Date!B:C,2,0))

or else try
=HYPERLINK("http://" &
VLOOKUP(REPLACE(CELL("Filename",A1),1,FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1)),""),Date!B:C,2,0))

Do you have any suggestions on how to code macro to do that?
My list contains 100 links, and furthermore, I would like to check if sheet
name (100) is not available within this workbook, then insert a new sheet and
name (100).
Do you have any suggestions on how to code it in macro?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Thank everyone very much for suggestions
I get an error message 1004
Name 'method' ('_Worksheet' Object) fail, and it refers to following code
ws.Name = wsDate.Range("b" & lngRow)
It seems to me that it cannot stop after the last sheets, and keep going for
the next one.
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix it?
Furthermore, do you have another approach to delete any sheet not named
under column B?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

I solve this problem by changing wsDate.Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
into wsDate.Range("O1").Value, since there is formula to determine the lists
for 500 cells, your code counts all the empty cell for number of rows, but
there are only 2 lists with links and 498 lists with "" empty cells.
Do you have another approach to count the number of rows, not including the
empty cells with formula?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
