    Need to do something tricky - Launch browser window appending Excel field to the URL

    I am posting this here as it probably falls under Programming.
    I need to do the following:
    When someone clicks inside a cell, open a browser window, pass a static URL to the browser and append the value in the cell to that URL. Has anyone done this? Difficult but probably possible?
    Thank you!

    Try something like this.
    • Right-click on the sheet ttab you want this to work on
    • Select View Code from the pop-up context menu
    • Paste the code below in the VBA edit window
    • In the code, change the static URL and the range of cells to suit

    Do you mean take the value of the cell and transfer it to the URL? Not possible from Excel alone.
    A macro does what you tell it, not what you want.
