I have a link in a cell converted to hyperlink. I looks just fine, but if I click the link nothing happens.
The excel file is a xlsx file running on Excel:Mac 2011 (on Mac).
I also tried saving the file as xls but the problem persist.
I’ve made this capture which shows the dialog box for “Edit hyperlink”. As you can see everything looks fine.
Link to the capture (sorry but I can’t upload images yet..): Capture
This happens to me often. What usually works is to double-click the cell, go to the end of the url and press space. Excel automagically converts it into a link you can follow. If you have many such links – you should look at what format your cells are in. Sometimes there are issues with links being in a cell that has been formatted “general”. HTH
