Hyperlink to another sheet in same document is opening a random website in Excel

Question

Hi,

I am trying to create a hyperlink from one sheet to another in the same Excel document. After creating when I hover over it, it shows some random website and then the destination in the sheet that I added. I never added a link to website but every time I open, it takes me to that website. I am not sure from where it's picking this website. I checked the Web Options, Proofing etc but none of them worked. Can anybody please help?

Thanks

Hi, @Madhavi Pasapula
I searched the website http://www.stakeholdermap.com in your screenshot and found that this website provides a stakeholder map.
It's possible that the person who created the Excel file downloaded the template from this website and then modified the contents.
If you can't delete this website, you can check whether the worksheet or workbook is protected.

If Protect Worksheet or Protect Workbook is gray, it means the worksheet or workbook is protected.

You can try to open Excel in safe mode. Safe Mode can reduce the impact of add-ins . Find the shortcut icon of Excel, hold down the Ctrl key and double-click Excel, a window will appear asking if you want to start the application in Safe Mode, click Yes.

Thank you. I checked with my team member who created the document, he did copy from the website. Thank you, for your help.
