Increment the hyperlink

Hello,

I am looking to increment hyperlinks with a variable to open folders.
I have column A with variables 1 to 5000.
I have column B with a "PDF" button that opens the corresponding file 1 to 5000.
I have created column C with a "DOSS" button to open a Windows folder window for the corresponding 1 to 5000 storage location, instead of the corresponding storage.
I have linked the path for example:
\\srvfichiers\Production_commun\pdf\1125
it works very well but it is impossible to increment the folder number
and replace "1125" with the variable from column A, e.g. "1125" would become $a$1125
\\srvfichiers\Production_commun\pdf\$a$1125

but it does not work.

so at this point the only solution is to rename the links one by one
a titan’s work.

(thanks, by the way, for a hyperlink to a file the incrementing works, but not for a link to a folder)

Does anyone have a trick?

Thanks in advance

Hello
You need to create a formula that concatenates the path with the column..
="\srvfichiers\Production_commun\pdf\" & $a1125

Hello,

We should use a formula that concatenates a string + variable
=""\\srvfichiers\Production_commun\pdf\"" & $A$1125

Be careful with Jeepee's answer, he forgot to remove the dollar symbol at the line number level.
Which means you can't increment the formula automatically.

Thank you

Well .... neither

I tested several versions with and without $ and &

With opening a file it works

On the other hand, to open a folder, it doesn't work

Pfff

We should give us an example of the file to upload on cjoint.fr and put the generated link on the forum.

Attached excerpt of the file

Colonne A B, no increment problem, opening Word or PDF file
Column C manual increment OK
However column D (link to open Windows folder
The display increments (stretch + CTRL key) but the link target does not increment
Display from 11125 to 11133
but all targets remain at 11125

I don’t see how you initialize D. But why not use the same type of formula as in B, which gives
=HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("\\srvfichiers\Production_commun\OMP pdf\" & C4), C4)

WELL DONE

Indeed with "CONCATENATE" it works perfectly!

Thank you very much

Finally CONCATENATE() with & is a belt and suspenders The logic would be =HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("\\srvfichiers\Production_commun\OMP pdf\";C4);C4) or =HYPERLINK("\\srvfichiers\Production_commun\OMP pdf\"&C4;C4)
