[dilemma-3] Recently, a TikTok indicated that she might have been using the Microsoft Excel =HYPERLINK() function to create a mailto: link to send email to Nelly. @xlninjadan Kelly Rowland in Dilemma by Nelly is finally justified for using Excel on her Nokia flip phone! #exceltips # xlninjadan #nelly #nellyiloveyou #kellyrowland #excel original sound - Dan Strong Sadly, this clever idea isn't possible. The spreadsheet built into the Nokia 9210 Communicator isn't Microsoft Excel (although it can read and write Excel compatible files), it's something call Sheet, and it doesn't have the =HYPERLINK () function.
