    Copy a cell value to make an email address

    Hi,

    I have a column with worker id eg 1234. Then I need a column with their email address which is 1234@company.com. Is there a formula that will copy the cell (1234) and automatically add the text at the end?

    Also is there a way to make this formula a mailto? As excel will not read a formula as a hyperlink?

    Finally I cannot search this forum, when I click on the GO button with a search topic entered it stays on search.php, any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    You can concatenate like this

    =A1&"@company.com"

    I don't think you can make it into a mailto but you can use a column of addresses for a mail merge.

    Thankyou EdMac,

    With your help I have nearly managed both parts. I have created this formula:

    =IF($A1>0,HYPERLINK("mailto:"&$A1&"@company.com"),"")

    This works but now has a mailto: in front of the email address. Is there anyway this can be removed whilst retaining the mailto function?

    Thanks,

    JP
