Re: Extract actual addresses from hyperlinks with User Definde Function

Hi Aru_Sidd, welcome to the forum.

Where is the function placed?

I think also you need to look for SubAddress, like so:

Code: 
Function GetURL(pWorkRng As Range) As String
'Updateby20140520
GetURL = pWorkRng.Hyperlinks(1).SubAddress
End Function
