How do I format text as a hyperlink in Excel
I want up to 1,00o cells in a single Excel worksheet to display as hyperlinks
to general web addresses (mainly home pages). Each cell is a different web address. How do I format the Excel cells to display and act as a hyperlink? |

How do I format text as a hyperlink in Excel
The formula to use is
=HYPERLINK(actual_address, friendly_address) where actual_address is the full link to the website (or other excel sheets/files), and friendly_address is what is shown in the Excel cell - underlined and coloured blue. If friendly_address is missing, the actual_address is shown. Hope this helps. Pete |

Thanks for this BUT I already have a list of all the 1,000 web addresses pasted into a column on the worksheet. I think youir method requires me to convert these to a formula on a line by line basis - i.e. 1,000 fomulae!! There must be a quicker, more global way? I know in the past I have disabled e-mail addresses from displaying as web addresses glovbally, is there a reverse of that process that will convert existing typed addresses to display and operate as hyperlinks??

Take a look at Debra Dalgleish's site to learn how to copy that formula down the
range you need: http://contextures.com/xlDataEntry01.html Neil wrote: Pete Thanks for this BUT I already have a list of all the 1,000 web addresses pasted into a column on the worksheet.
