Excel: Assign a macro to a hyperlink?

In the above, there is a clear answer that is accepted.

• Try to edit the post to provide better content (thank you to GraceNote for pointing that out). An example would be the edit I performed on this question. It doesn't put words in the OPs mouth, it doesn't detract from the answers provided, and indicates something to help expand the question in general.

• If it has an accepted answer, it likely means that someone interpreted it correctly in the eyes of the user, and it really needs a little love to give it some more content (unless it has other glaring issues which it should be closed for).

• If there are multiple answers with upvotes, it's an indication that multiple people understood the question as asked (brief as it is) well enough to provide answers, and that others on top of that indicated that they understood the question and answers enough to provide an upvote on it.

• If the question is upvoted, it's possible that people understand the question, but as we all know, voting is not anywhere near a reliable indicator of whether or not a question is good (I'd look at this as a last resort and only if you have nothing else to rely on, and even then, take it with a grain of salt). Note this applies to answers as well, but in the point above, it's the presence of multiple upvoted answers (which is different from a single upvoted question) that is the indicator.

• If there's a duplicate of it on the site (and in a lot of cases, there probably are), vote to close it as a duplicate and then flag for moderator attention, indicating it's a duplicate. This is much better for the site overall, since we like multiple representations of asking the same thing (it boosts organic search).

I have to respectfully disagree with Andrew's response that it is not a question. While I don't necessarily like questions that are completely self-described in the title, there are many questions which really don't need anything beyond the title to explain what's desired in the question.

While pithy is antithetical to Stack Exchange, there's currently not a close reason for it.
