In my excel sheet I am creating URLs by concatenating the content of various cells.
The formula in D2 is =CONCATENATE("http://",A2,".",B2)
The problem I have is that the resulting URL is not seen as a hyperlink, and I have to manually copy, paste as value and then configure the hyperlink to make it work.
Is there a way to let excel recognize it as a URL and make it immediatly clickable?
In D2 enter:
=HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("http://",A2,".",B2),CONCATENATE("http://",A2,".",B2))
(you can now replace the second argument with a "user friendly" label)

I have an Excel file which needs to be sent to my colleagues. However, there is a column "link" which includes the text URL, the URL only can be activated when I double click this cell. How can I automatically activate these text URLs so my colleagues don't need to double click on each cell?
Thanks,
Jennifer.
With inactive links in column A, in B2 (or some other column) enter:
=HYPERLINK(A2,A2)
and copy downward.
This costs you an extra column, but it minimizes the need for "special handling". An alternative approach might be to activate all the cell in the column with a small SendKeys macro.
I'm trying to pull a hyperlink from a hidden sheet in excel to be used in combination with an IF command, it means there will be 3 arguments.
=IF(A24="","",VLOOKUP(A24,'Product Data '!$A$2:$AD$213,19,FALSE))
Is this possible?
Please see current formula below. How do I add for the hyperlink to be used in conjunction with the IF command as I only want the link to show if specific text is selected.
TIA
In order to use the HYPERLINK from a cell in another cell, you should write it in the HYPERLINK formula:
Something like this:
=HYPERLINK(IF(1=1,VLOOKUP("www.test.com",'Product Data '!A1:A10,1,0)))
The sheet and whether it is hidden or not is irrelevant.
I want, when I am pasting links to a cell, that the text would automatically be wrapped with another text.
For instance, I have this link copied in my clipboard: http://example.com. When I paste it in a cell, I want it automatically to be wrapped by another text:
<div class="text">Example</div>
The output of that csv is rendered in html.
I would do it using Excel formulas. I think it's the quickest solution, if you are not planning to to this task repetitively a lot of times.
If you paste your link in A1, in B1 I would put this:
="<div class=""text"">Example</div>"
When you are done pasting references and making formulas, you can copy the cell with the formula and paste only the value on top of it. Then delete the original reference. This way you will not have formulas in cells.
I have created a column with rows of different hyperlinks a hyperlink within a cell, with a link label attached . Now i want to display only the hyperlink(as a text)and remove the label for each row within the column. Is this possible with a formula? I don't want to have to remove them manually one at a time
It is easily done in VBA.
Press Alt+F11 (this will open the VBA editor)
Insert a new module.
Copy this in to the module:
Function GetHyperlink(Rng As Range)
GetHyperlink = Rng.Hyperlinks(1).Address
End Function
(This will add a new custom function, which is a formula that extracts hyperlink from cell)
Then if you go back to your workbook, enter a formula where you want to extract the hyperlink.
Your formula will be =GetHyperlink(A1)
Assuming your hyperlinked cell is in A1.
Let me know if it works.
I have a list of documents that I want to paste relative links to in Excel. I converted the list to a list of Excel formulas that look like
=HYPERLINK(".\docs\123abc\1.doc","1.doc")
=HYPERLINK(".\docs\456abc\1.doc","1.doc")
However when I paste this in Excel it will paste the text for the formula and not actually make it a formula. I have tried creating a macro to set each cell's FormulaR1C1 value as the value from the text in the cell and that didn't fix it. As well I have tried to copy and paste special as forumla and that did nothing either.
If I type in each formula by hand instead of copying and pasting them it works great, however the list of forumlas I have is a couple hundred and I would prefer not to have to type each one in by hand. Does anyone have any experience with this or suggestions on getting the forumla to register?
Before pasting the formulas,
Select all cells in worksheet
Right click and select "Format Cells..."
In the Number tab page, select General and click OK button.
Paste your formulas list.
