Dynamic URL for first column of data from excel query?
 

I am using the database query to suck four columns of data from an sql
server express 2005 database and it works great.

However, I would like to automatically construct a URL hyperlink for
the 2nd column of data coming into the worksheet from the database
query.

Is there is simple one to dynamically do this?

Any specific feedback would be very much appreciated.

Columns:
ID
Boat Name
Price

Data:
Ocean Speed 100k
Sea Lion 300k

Goal:

<a href="www.mysite.com" + ID + Boat Name + </a.

Dynamic URL for first column of data from excel query?
 

Below is the example of the HyperLink worksheet function available in Excel.
The two parameters are strings a can be constructed by using the Concatenate
function or using the "&" character.

=HYPERLINK("http://example.microsoft.com/report/budget report.xls", "Click
for report")


if A1 contains
"http://example.microsoft.com/report/"
and A2 =
"budget report.xls"
and A3 =
"Click for report"

=Hyperlink(A1 & A2,A3)
