Extract hyperlinks

A few weeks ago I got a question about hyperlinks. A list of soccer clubs was kept in Excel (4000+). Some of them had a hyperlink some didn't.
How to see this quickly? A possible solution is to show them in different colors:

Private Sub ColorHyperlinks()
  ' color cells with hyperlinks
  Dim rngCel                                 As Range
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  For Each rngCel In Selection
    If rngCel.Hyperlinks.Count <> 0 Then
      ' cell has a hyperlink make yellow (6)
      rngCel.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
    Else
      ' remove color: -4142
      rngCel.Interior.ColorIndex = -4142
    End If
  Next rngCel
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Or you can make the cells with hyperlinks bold:

Private Sub BoldHyperlinks()
  ' makes cells with hyperlink bold
  Dim rngCel                                 As Range
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  For Each rngCel In Selection
    If rngCel.Hyperlinks.Count <> 0 Then
      ' make bold:
      rngCel.Font.Bold = True
    Else
      ' Not Bold
      rngCel.Font.Bold = False
    End If
  Next rngCel
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

In the next version of ASAP Utilities I'll build in a function to extract the hyperlinks:

Private Sub ExtractHyperlinks()
  ' extracts hyperlink and put it in the next column
  Dim rngCel                                 As Range
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  For Each rngCel In Selection
    If rngCel.Hyperlinks.Count <> 0 Then
      ' cell has a hyperlink:
      rngCel.Offset(0, 1).Value = rngCel.Hyperlinks(1).Address
    End If
  Next rngCel
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your GREAT utilities!
Extract hyperlinks works nicely with text but it does not work if I want to extract hyperlinks from images. You know when you copy table from web there are sometimes links on pictures/buttons.
Could you please make that option possible also.

Many thanks in advance,
Ants

Hello Francisco,

Select the cells that you need to be "visualized" and then run the code.

Kind regards,
