I understand excel doesn't normally support pound sign within Hyperlinks. However, it is possible to bypass somewhat by using a functione.g. HYPERLINK("http://"&H9,H9) where H9 cell includes the rest of the hyperlink with the # within.
However, still when i click on the resulting Hyperlink in the cell, IE opens with the URL containing "%20%-%20%", replacing the pound sign,and thus the destination isn't reached (a URL error is displayed in IE).
To clarify, the pound sign is required in the URL, so that IE would goto the web page where a WorkItem of TFS is displayed in TFS web access.If there were a means to specify a URL for TFS web access to goto the work item web page without pound sign, then it would be great.
Maybe there is a solution in excel how to make it so that the pound sign would appear correctly not just visibly in the cell as above, but rather when passed by excel to IE in the actual URL.Is there ?
Thank u in advance.
