How do I create a hyperlink in excel that links to PDF's in my internal storage on my android S9FE tablet. Done it a million times on my PC but the method is not working for my tablet. This is the file path for the PDF, and this is the result i get.

File path: /Internal storage/Download/Eagle 52.1/All/EB-HO-1234-OC31---LIFE-SAFETY-SYSTEMS-CAB-2-CR09-01-RACK-ELEVATION-Rev.0.pdf

Result: Sorry, we couldn't open this link. The link address may be invalid or may not have permissions to open it.

    Hello,

    Yes, if you purchase Microsoft 365, you will be able to use desktop mode on your tablet. Desktop mode is a feature of Windows 10 that allows you to use the full-featured desktop applications of Microsoft Office, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. You can switch between online and desktop apps without leaving your document. To turn the desktop mode on or off, select the action centre on the taskbar and then select Tablet mode.

    If you need to use slicers as well, you might want to use the desktop version of Excel on your tablet. To do this, you will need to purchase Microsoft 365 and install the desktop apps on your tablet.

    I have checked the permissions and really didnt find anything that would prevent me from opening the link but i could be wrong. If i purchase microsoft 365, will i be able to use desktop mode on my tablet? I need to be able to slicers as well and since the update from office 365 i am not able to.

    Greetings! I am Ajibola, eager to assist you with confidence and assertiveness. I guarantee to provide you with exceptional support.

    Make sure that the file path is correct and complete. You can check this by opening the PDF file from your file manager app and copying the file path from there. Then, paste the file path in the Insert Hyperlink dialogue box in Excel and make sure it matches the one you typed.

    Make sure that you have a PDF reader app installed on your Android tablet that can open the PDF file. You can check this by opening the PDF file from your file manager app and seeing which app opens it. If you don't have a PDF reader app, you can download one from the Google Play Store, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader or Google PDF Viewer. You can also set the default app for opening PDF files by going to Settings > Apps > Default apps > Opening links >PDF documents.
