Is it possible to link to a specific cell (via url) of an excel file being viewed and edited in Box for Office online?
For example, one can typically link to a specific cell of an online hosted excel document by creating the hyperlink with url parameters such as '&activeCell=%27SheetName%27!A1'.
Is it possible to do something like this in an excel file being edited in Box for office online?
Hi Todd,
Welcome to the Box Community!
Yes, this should be possible when you choose to 'hyperlink' a file that is stored in your Box in an excel file via excel online.
You can hyperlink the URL of the file or create a Shared link.

Thanks for your question and participation in the forum!
I have multiple workbooks that are all linked to each other using formulas. These files are used by multiple people. Our company just switched to Box from OneDrive. On OneDrive I was able to swap out the server file path with an online link "https://.... " When I did that, anyone who was viewing one of the workbooks online, would be seemlessly linked to all other folders & workbooks (as long as I had given them access to those locations). I cannot figure out how to do this on Box. Any insights would be much appreciated as I have spent WAY too much time trying to sort this out on my own.
Thank you!
Hello,
I'm trying to do this exact same thing on Box. Was anyone successful in getting this to work?
I know how to make this work in Google Drive, but it doesn't seem to work in Box.
Anyone able to figure this out? I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more feedback; having collaboration capabilities and creating external references can be huge for certain teams. This is very straightforward in OneDrive, but can't seem to get it working in Box.
France didn't understand your question. Has anyone found a way to generate a link to a specific sheet, or specific cell?
