Activate Excel Links

This Microsoft Excel macro was developed to make our work easier, and will automatically make up to 10,000 rows of links “live” in a spreadsheet, the way you intended to use ‘em.

Isn’t it a shame that MS Excel is just “too stupid” to do this automatically? That’s why we’ve made a spreadsheet with the embedded macro for our members.

Directions for use:
1. Download the spreadsheet (at the bottom of this page after login). When you open it, note the “security” warning that will appear (in Excel 2007) above column A.

This “warning” simply tells you there’s a macro that you need to enable.

2. Hit “Options” to enable the macro by choosing “Enable This Content” and checking the radio button that says “Enable macros in this document”.

3. Import or paste your links into an empty version of the spreadsheet. Currently, in the file you download, column A is labeled for URL’s, but thats not a requirement, so feel free to change it.

4. Then all you have to do is click on the top link in the column that you wish to “activate”, and press the button to make all of your links instantly live.

5. Feel free to leave comments about this tool here and/or Stumble, Digg, etc. below.
