    INSERT url in front of a cell

    Hi All,
    I have to add a url but don't want it to act as a link in front of a part number in a cell
    so
    http://allgermanservice.co.uk/Lemforder images/

    10726 01

    WOULD READ IN A SINGLE CELL

    http://allgermanservice.co.uk/Lemforder images/10726 01

    Have you tried this.... in Formatting "Wrap" that cell or user "Shrink to fit" and read url in task bar.

    Re: INSERT url in front of a cell

    OK guys thanks for answering. I can post the file but what I need to do is the following. In a column I have an sku in each cell. I am uploading to ebay and need to tell ebay where the image is located. so if my cell contains SKU 12345 01 then I need to add the text only of e.g http://allgermanservice.co.uk/Lemforder images/
    the cell would read

    http://allgermanservice.co.uk/Lemforder images/12345 01 and the same in all cells in the column.

    Please ignore the url keeps showing a hyperlink. It needs just to be text

    So, you need to combine 2 cell values? Write down the 1st part in a cell then try something like =A1&A2

    If you need to add a space or something, write =A1&" "&A2

    Thanks for the reply. For some reason when I use the formula it just shows the formula text in the cell rather than doing the formula..

    I can assure the formula is correct, at least for Excel 2010

    Re: INSERT url in front of a cell

    This work almost exactly as I wanted it to for a similar use. The only thing excel doesn't seem to be doing automatically is turning the new hyperlink into a....hyperlink. It displays as black text but doesn't recognize as a hyperlink. Is this because the URL is http://##### and doesn't contain any www. or .com? Can I format the column to turn everything into a hyperlink?

    Got it:
    =hyperlink(A1&B1)

    This will combine two cells, and turn it into a hyperlink. Nice trick!
