Creating customized hyperlinks to a site
I have a column of values that correspond to a ID.
I need to create a HYPERLINK in this cell that will take me to a specified URL where the ID changes corresponding to the value in the cell. 8410495 Link 10681746 Link 10681746 Link 1682519 Link 1682519 Link The generic link is http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/en...ubmed_RVDocSum Note the **** sign in the URL. I want this to be correspondingly replaced with the ID in each cell. I am trying to link these IDs to their respective public URLs in PUBMED. -- Natarajan Ganesan, PhD |

Creating customized hyperlinks to a site
Natarajan,
Is the word "Link" included with the ID in each cell? I would strip out "Link" and any leading/trailing spaces. Then you should be able to use the HYPERLINK() function: (I'm assuming that the data you listed in your original post starts in cell A2) Enter this formula in cell B2: =HYPERLINK("http://www.ncbi/nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=pubmed&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=" & A2 & "&ordinalpos=1.............", "enter the text you want to display in the cell here or use a cell reference without quotes") Be sure to finish off the link after " & A2 & ". Also, don't copy & paste my formula above. I typed it in as I was looking at your original link.......it could have typos. HTH, Conan "Natarajan" wrote in message ...

Creating customized hyperlinks to a site
Hi Conan,
Thank you for your reply. Yes, the word Link was to just refer to the cell where I wold place the link. It could also be put back right over the cell containing the number (most ideal). However, I must say that I got an "invalid key" message when I tried syntax you gave. I typed my own (rather I generated it after visiting a typical pubmed link). I followed this byusing 'Insert' 'Function' command formmenu and pasted the hyperlink. After this I tried to locate the place where you suggested the change. It did not work. If I may request would it be possible for you to generate template cell. I would very very grateful.

Do you have an email address that you would like me to send this to or would you rather I attach it to a post? You can send me your email address to "CTBarbarin at msn dot com" (OR remove the "NOSPAM"s from my email address if you click reply) If you post your email address, be sure to spell it out like I did above or insert obvious words (ie. NOSPAM, BUCKETOFSPAM, DELETE, etc...) that need to be removed from the address: OSPAM HTH, Conan "Natarajan" wrote in message ... Hi Conan, Thank you for your reply.
