    Making a hyperlink from a formula

    Is this possible at all?? The forumla i have is;

    ="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&q="&G7&"&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl"
    The cell G7 will have a postcode in this and i would like it to be a 'clickable' link so if once they put the postcode in they just can click to bring up IE with that web address!!

    See HYPERLINK function, ie:

    =HYPERLINK("http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&q="&G7&"&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl",G7)

    scaffdog, the URL is itself dynamic by means of a variable (G7)

    You can hyperlink almost anywhere

    Add this into a cell, its what i generally do

    =HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",Sheet2!A1))

    Now the cell will read - #[Book1]Sheet2!$A$1 this is expected

    Yep, in this case though the link is a URL - hence post #2
