Hyperlink Base in Microsoft Teams

Question

I am looking to add a hyperlink in an excel file that is stored in a Microsoft Teams folder. I am looking to hyperlink a file (PDF in this case) that is contained in the same folder. Is there a way to create a relative link, in case I move the excel file and other file to a new location? I think using a hyperlink base is the way to do this, but I am not sure.

Hi @Ian Van Giesen

Based on my test, it seems possible to use a relative path.

I uploaded an excel file and a pdf file named 01.pdf to a same folder in a team site.

In the excel I used the format 01.pdf as the relative path in the hyperlink.

Then I tried:

1. moved the files to a subfolder in the same site
2. move files to another team site
3. download files to local disk

the hyperlink all worked for me.
