How to Add a Hyperlink to a Specific Part of a Cell in Excel?

When we create a hyperlink in Excel, the whole cell will work as a hyperlink. There is no way we can make the part of the cell work as a hyperlink. But I will explain a simple trick to see that a hyperlink is created for part of a cell. On a website, a hyperlink (or link) is an item like a word or button that points to another location. When you click on a link, the link will take you to the target of the link, which may be a webpage, document, or other online content. Websites use hyperlinks as a way to navigate online content.

This tutorial will help you understand how we can add hyperlinks to specific parts of cells in Excel. We can do it by changing the font colour of the cell values.
