Author: Xiaoyang Last Modified: 2024-10-10

Supposing, I have a list of values in column A and each cell contains a different hyperlink, now, I want to copy only the hyperlinks without text to another column E as following screenshot shown. May be there is no direct way to solve this job in Excel, but here, I can introduce a VBA code for dealing with it.

1. Hold down the ALT + F11 keys to open the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.

2. Click Insert > Module, and paste the following code in the Module Window.

VBA code: copy hyperlink only from one cell to another:

Sub CopyHyperlinks()
'Uodateby Extendoffice
    Dim xSRg As Range
    Dim xDRg As Range
    Dim I As Integer
    Dim xAddress As String
    On Error Resume Next
    xAddress = ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Address
    Set xSRg = Application.InputBox("Please select the original range you want to copy hyperlinks:", "KuTools For Excel", xAddress, , , , , 8)
    If xSRg Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    Set xDRg = Application.InputBox("Please select the new range you want to paste the hyperlinks only", "KuTools For Excel", , , , , , 8)
    If xDRg Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    Set xDRg = xDRg(1)
    For I = 1 To xSRg.Count
        If xSRg(I) <> "" And xDRg.Offset(I - 1) <> "" Then
            If xSRg(I).Hyperlinks.Count = 1 Then
                xDRg(I).Hyperlinks.Add xDRg(I), xSRg(I).Hyperlinks(1).Address
            End If
        End If
    Next
End Sub

3. And then press F5 key to run this code, a dialog box will pop out to remind you to select the cells which you want to copy the hyperlinks only, see screenshot:
