Today, a great idea from Yure in Brazil.
He is using concatenation inside the HYPERLINK function to create a MailTo hyperlink. Click the cell in Excel and your e-mail program opens with the Recipient, Subject, and Body already filled in.
However… it the hyperlink grows to more than 255 characters, we are getting a #VALUE! error instead.
Can you go and vote to ask the Excel team to increase the limit for the HYPERLINK function: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/b71ba7be-0944-ec11-a81a-0022484e21f1
In the meantime, you can use VBA code from Ron De Bruin to send e-mails from Excel. See his code at: rel=”nofollow”>https://www.rondebruin.nl/win/section1.htm
Who remembers the time that Kelly Rowland used Excel to SMS Nelly? Here is a link to that music video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WYHDfJDPDc
