Default text manipulation


If I have in a given cell a one-word name (e. g. "blooper"), and want to
convert that name to a url format (e. g. "www.blooper.com"), what
formula/function must I use?

Thanks in advance,

eenstudent

To be consistent, I guess that should have been

=HYPERLINK("www." & A1 & ".com","Click to connect to " & A1)

I think you'll need http:// to get the link to work:

=HYPERLINK("http://www."&A1&".com","Click to connect to " & A1)

(slight change to the string to show, too.)

I didn't see your later enhancement (about the &A1 stuff).

Sorry,
