Put an hyperlink using a macro in an excel report
When I am working with a report that contains for instance problem ticket number and the related configuration item, I may need to open the ticket to understand better the situation and to get more details about the device in a CMDB intranet webpage. Both can be opened via an hyperlink so this code creates quickly those hyperlinks.
When I use the macro ?
For instance, if a CI can be opened via an hyperlink.
