Remove (Delete) Hyperlinks from Worksheets
This macro will remove all hyperlinks from the active worksheet. It will delete the hyperlinks but it will not delete the text of the link. This means that you will still have all of the text left over but without the links to the websites. This is a great macro to use in excel if you import a lot of data from the web or if you import lists of emails or web addresses but do not want them to actually retain their hyperlinks.
This macro will work on the entire active worksheet, you do not need to select any cells.
Where to install the macro: Module
Remove (Delete) Hyperlinks from Worksheets
Sub Remove_All_Hyperlinks()
'Removes hyperlinks from the active worksheet
'Does not delete the hyperlink text, only the link to the site
Do Until ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Count = 0
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks(1).Delete
Loop
End Sub

An outside application exports data to an Excel spreadsheet, but all the
numbers (part numbers in this case) are created as hyperlinks. My
spreadsheet can contain hundreds of numbers. Is there any way I can remove
the hyperlinks en masse rather than one by one? I can't change the program
that creates the spreadsheet.
Thanks,

Okay, I have an easy one.
I have 35 e mail addresses. How can remove the hyperlink property but leave the address? I can remove one hyperlink at a time but that will take a long time.

Hi All
I've copied 2 x columns x 760 rows of data from a web site and pasted to a new workbook. The data in column 1 are all sequential numbers for fault codes and each has a hyperlink. How can I remove all the hyperlinks, as I only require the number. I've tried pasting as text, but then I lose the columns.
Thanks Simon

I have an exported file with more than 100 hyperlinks. How can i remove the hyperlink (en mass) without disrupting the format of the spreadsheet?
hey.
my team is using a shared spreadsheet with loads an loads of hyperlinks to a different spreadsheet that i'm somehow unable to remove.
when you right-click, the "delete hyperlink" & "edit hyperlink" option is greyed out, only "open hyperlink" is available. when you click "open" you get the error message: Unable to open, as the file it links to doesn't exist anymore.
the spreadsheet is not protected as far as i can see either...
i tried to delete & paste special (value only). but it doesn't affect the hyperlink at all
any ideas? thanks!
