Can i send mail using hyperlink in excel
Yes, you can send mail using a hyperlink in Excel. Here are a few ways to do it:
Method 1: Using the "Mailto" protocol
You can create a hyperlink in Excel that opens the default email client on the user's computer, allowing them to compose a new email. To do this:
- Select the cell where you want to create the hyperlink.
- Type
=HYPERLINK("mailto:"&A1)
(assuming the email address is in cell A1). - Press Enter to create the hyperlink.
When the user clicks on the hyperlink, their default email client will open with the email address already filled in.
Method 2: Using VBA and Outlook
You can also use VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) to send an email using Outlook. To do this:
-
Open the Visual Basic Editor in Excel by pressing Alt+F11 or by navigating to Developer > Visual Basic in the ribbon.
-
In the Visual Basic Editor, insert a new module by clicking Insert > Module.
-
Paste the following code:
Sub SendEmail() Dim olApp As Object Dim olMail As Object Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set olMail = olApp.CreateItem(0) With olMail .To = "[email protected]" .Subject = "Test Email" .Body = "This is a test email." .Send End With Set olMail = Nothing Set olApp = Nothing End Sub
-
Replace the email address, subject, and body with your desired values.
-
Save the module by clicking File > Save (or press Ctrl+S).
-
Go back to your Excel worksheet and create a hyperlink to the VBA module by following these steps:
- Select the cell where you want to create the hyperlink.
- Type
=HYPERLINK("VBA:SendEmail")
. - Press Enter to create the hyperlink.
When the user clicks on the hyperlink, the VBA code will run and send the email using Outlook.
Method 3: Using a third-party add-in
There are also third-party add-ins available that allow you to send emails directly from Excel, such as SendEmail or Emailer. These add-ins often provide more advanced features and customization options.
