Using Excel And HYPERLINK To Automate Custom E-Mail – 2378

Posted on by Annie D

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

After yesterday’s video importing KML files from the Census.Gov site, today, we take a look at creating your own KML file using Google Maps and then exporting it to Excel.

In today’s example, I create a custom map of 10 neighborhood allotments.

Google Maps makes it easy to draw new polygons, name them, and then export the layer to KML. You can then import to Excel for Windows using 3D Maps.
