Hello,

I am trying to find a way to combine the Hyperlink and Vlookup finctions.
Specifically, I would like to enter text into a cell and have that text
automatically hyperlink to what I need, either a file or URL. For example:

If I enter the word "History" into cell A:1, I would want it to
automatically create a hyperlink to historychannel.com, without any change to
the original word I input into the cell.

I thought I could do this by combining the VLOOKUP and HYPERLINK functions,
but it has not quite worked out for me yet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

An example ..
If A1 contains the data/formula (eg vlookup) returned value of: yahoo
this in B1: =HYPERLINK("http://www."&A1&".com",A1)
will produce the required hyperlink
