    Hyperlink Friendly Name as File Icon.

    Hi,

    I was wondering if its somehow possible to have a hyperlink formula display the file-icon as friendly name?
    I'm not sure if this is possible with regular formulas or if a VBA is needed to get this result?

    thx.

    which file icon? You can insert an image into the worksheet and put a hyperlink on the image.

    The file that is linked in the formula. So it could be any file.

    =Hyperlink( A1 ; A1 File-Icon )
    Where A1 is C:\any-location\any-file.xxx

    I would like to have the icon displayed in the cell if this is this possible?

    Don't think you can do that with formulas, not sure if this is possible even with VBA.

    You can insert a picture as the icon, and add a hyperlink to the picture.

    I had a feeling this would be difficult or not possible.
