hi,

I have created an excel application as an object and excel sheet as an object.
Dim excel_app As Object
Dim excel_sheet As Object
and i am opening the sheet and inserting data. So i got to do two applications in excel through vba. So please help me in this regard.

1. How can i add an hyperlink to an excel cell through vba. (I have inserted some data into excel cell, for which i have to add an hyperlink to that cell).

2. How can i fill color in excel cells through vba. I have used the below code to fill color, but i am getting an error saying, this property will not be supported.
excel_sheet.Range(excel_sheet.cells(2, 1), excel_sheet.cells(2, 4)).Select
excel_app.excel_sheet.selection.Interior.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic

So please send me the code for the above questions and also please send a link, where i can found the code for various other applications(excel through vba).

thanks & regards,
Vinodh kumar

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Hi Vinodh kumar,

I don't know the link, so I made an only sample code.

<pre>
Sub test()
Dim excel_app As Object
Dim excel_sheet As Object
Set excel_app = CreateObject("excel.application")
With excel_app
.Visible = True
.Workbooks.Add
Set excel_sheet = .ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1)
End With

With excel_sheet
'1. How can i add an hyperlink to an excel cell through vba.
.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=.Range("A1"), Address:= _
"http://www.mrexcel.com/board/index.php"

'2. How can i fill color in excel cells through vba.
.Range("A1").Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End With
Set excel_app = Nothing
Set excel_sheet = Nothing
End Sub
</pre>

Hi Vin:
One suggestion I have for figuring these sorts of things out is to use your macro recorder. It's a pretty good way to learn the code.
For example for your color problem just start your macro recorder...change color of cell...stop macro recorder... view code.

Here's the code I get by doing this:
Code:
Sub ColorIt()
'
' ColorIt Macro
' Macro recorded 5/13/2002 by nimrod
'

'
    Range("A2").Select
    With Selection.Interior
        .ColorIndex = 6
        .Pattern = xlSolid
    End With
End Sub
