Hi,

I'm trying to click a hyperlink that will open a new e-mail with Outlook and the e-mail would be all filled with values from Excel cells.
Here's what I got so far:
=HYPERLINK("mailto:" & R1530 & "?subject="& CONCATENATE(A1530," ",B1530) & "&body=" & CONCATENATE("HI","YO",C1530)&"hello", "send e-mail to PM")
I have 2 problems:
  1. I'm trying to create the body of the e-mail based on cell values with multiple lines. I've found this on a forum somewhere, but I don't understand how to make it work with my above formula: "mailto:name@domain.e_t?subject=Header&body=This is the first line%0D%0AThis is the second" the "%0D%0A" seems to create a new line, but I don't know how to integrate it with my formula
  2. The automatic signature is missing from the e-mail. Whenever I click new e-mail in Outlook, my signature is automatically added to the e-mail, but not when I create an e-mail through a hyperlink in Excel.

Anyone have a clue on how to fix any of these problems?

Thank you,

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
Thanks for your link, I noticed that you were putting quotes around %0D%0A which I wasn't, so that problem is fixed:
=HYPERLINK("mailto:" & R1530 & "?subject="& CONCATENATE(A1530," ",B1530) & "&body=" & CONCATENATE("HI", "%0D%0A", "YO",C1530), "send e-mail to PM")
As for the signature, thank you for letting me know it's impossible so I can stop searching for that. Our signatures usually have our company logo, but for this purpose I will just have to accept the fact that the logo will be missing.
Thank you!

I though my problems were over, but it seems like there's a maximum amount of "&" I can put in my formula for the body of the e-mail.
Concatenate doesn't seem to help either.
Our signature format has 5 lines and when I add the 3rd line excel return my hyperlink with #value !
Do you have a magic trick for this?

It's never straightforward.
Try bunging the signature lines in a single cell and referencing the cell
