In your spreadsheet, you say 'in each of the yellow cells, a number of pdfs will be linked'. That simply isn't possible. Excel can only hyperlink to one location per cell.

You also have a block of yellow cells with the notation 'here should go pdf#', where # is a number. While it is possible to attach files to cell locations, this isn't a good idea for a number of reasons including that it makes the Excel workbook:
• harder to maintain;
• slower to open and use;
• much larger (by an amount greater than the embedded file sizes);
• more prone to coruption - which could lose all your data;
• more likely to become out of date, with the contents no longer reflecting what's held in external PDFs, with all the consequences that can entail.
so any alternative??
