    Adding a hyperlink to XL cells

    Hi,

    I have to enter thousands of hyper-links to data in a spreadsheet column. It is impossible
    to do that manually. Here is a sample of what I have:

    Column1:

    Cell 1: 234
    Cell 2: 678
    Cell 3: 789

    I wanted add a hyper-link to each cell above as follows:

    Cell1 link: http://www.myweb.com?id=234
    Cell2 link: http://www.myweb.com?id=678
    Cell3 link: http://www.myweb.com?id=789

    Is there a way to automate this to add a hyperlink just by adding the data
    in that cell at the end of the link?

    Thanks for your comments.

    I used the HYPERLINK formula to accomplish this, creating links in an adjacent cell from text in a prior cell. Here are many examples and a sample sheet to play with:

    Thank you JBeaucaire! I tried to play around but no luck of getting the cell data and add into the link. Would you mind looking at the sample XL file attached here?

    Putting Hyperlinks underneath the values is just more work that it's worth. It's so simple to edit a hyperlink in formula instead.

    Put this in B3 and copy down... instant links that update themselves if change the value in column A:

    =HYPERLINK("http://www.myweb.com/?id=" & A3, "Link")
