I have a document I share using Excel online via onedrive. I update it in on the desktop app and people access it via a link, and view it on the Web version.
Up until yesterday, a viewer would be able to click a cells with a hyperlink to another sheet in the workbook, and it would automatically take them there. Today, every single cell with a hyperlink requests the viewer to 'ctrl and click' to follow the hyperlink.
I have gone though every single option on my desktop Excel app to try and turn off this 'ctrl and click' functuon but I genuinely cannot find anything relevant or that has worked. I have the latest version of Excel for Mac and I haven't changed any settings.
Please, how do I make hyperlinks work automatically again? Thank you!!

I found that hovering over the link pops up the link. Click it and the tab opens as the active tab.
I Found a work around, select Cell / right click mouse / link options /open link
Hi everyone,
I am experiencing a similar issue when I am using Excel from Microsoft Teams.
On my PC I can open the links on Microsoft Teams only by clicking on them, but when someone else is using the same shared Excel Workbook, they have to use CTRL.
I've checked, and everyone seems to be using the same Microsoft Teams version.
Hi Everyone,
I am also experiencing the same issue. If anybody finds a solution, please share. Greatly appreciated!
My coworker is using the same shared Excel workbook, but she didn't experience the same issue that I have.
