    assuming your data is in A1...
    =HYPERLINK(A1)
    copied down
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    thanks, it appears to look like a link when I do that but when I click on it i get a message that says "can't open the specified file" instead of opening web page.

    Thumbs up Re: Convert colum of web addresss so they are clickable for hyperlink to web.

    1) make sure you have http:// in front of www. replace www with http://www for all
    2) use hyperlink function to copy info from desired cell =hyperlink(a1)
    3 copy that cell and paste down
    4) copy all cells and paste special using values only

    Thanks again Fdibbins
