If you have a link reference in cell A1, then remove the quotes from A1 in
your formula.
=HYPERLINK(A1,"test")

I am having a problem with the hyperlink function.

Say b2 contains =HYPERLINK("A1","test")

clicking on b2 produces the error message: "The address of this site
is not valid. Check the address and try again"
