Hello Office community, on a PC if you hold down control and hover over a cell with a hyperlink then it doesn't activate the cell. How do I do that in Excel for Mac?

Well, if you "hover (the cursor) over a cell with a hyperlink" in MacXL, "it doesn't activate the cell" - no CTRL key needed.
OTOH, if you're talking about selecting the cell with a hyperlink, holding the CMD-key will allow you to click on the cell without activating the hyperlink.
I was meaning selecting the cell with a hyperlink. On the PC the curser changes and on the Mac it didn't. I should have realised it was CMD earlier. Thanks for the help.
