Exceeding Max Char Limit in Excel

Question

How do I use more than 255 characters in Excel\'s CONCATENATE function? I am actually also using the CONCATENATE function within the HYPERLINK function in EXCEL. An example

Answer 1

Dunno if my answer is still useful but I had the same issue couple of days ago, the best way and proved way to do a workable hyperlink that exceeds a 255 char limit is to first split it, with CONCATENATE(), and use the cell with CONCATENATE() function in VBA.

For me it looks like:

A1 = LinkPart1
A2 = LinkPart2
A3 = LinkPart3

A5 = CONCATENATE( A1; A2; A3 )

VBA Code you need to link with A5:

Sub insertVeryLongHyperlink()

    Dim curCell As Range
    Dim longHyperlink As String

    Set curCell = Range("A7")   ' or use any cell-reference
    longHyperlink = [A5]

    curCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=curCell, _
                    Address:=longHyperlink, _
                    SubAddress:="", _
                    ScreenTip:=" - Click here to follow the hyperlink", _
                    TextToDisplay:="Click Here"

    End Sub
