    Clicking on cell takes to a URL?

    Hi Excel Gurus,
    I am working on a list which contains lots of words. What I want to do is that when I click a cell (containing a word say "darth"), I should get redirected to URL (www.sample.com/darth), which will be dynamic in nature.

    Please suggest if this is possible in excel, and if YES then please suggest ways as well.

    Thanks

    Hello darthvader2204,

    Welcome to the Forum!

    You can use a hyperlink to take you to the URL...

    Say the cell is A1, you would add this formula: =HYPERLINK("www.sample.com/darth", "darth")
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.

    Thanks a lot Reith. Your method worked well. But I have a followup question. Since I said that list is really long, and the URL construction will remain same, so I am looking for a more generic formula here. Something like below:

    =HYPERLINK("www.sample.com/a27",A27)

    My idea is to write it once and then drag it for other 200 entries? Will it work?

    Thanks Debraj. That is exactly what I wanted.
    However I have a huge list and I want to construct this kind of hyperlink for all of them. So my question is is there any way to do this easily.
    One way which I can think of is concatenating the cell address (a27) with the formula, and copying the formula by dragging it all the way. Havent tried it yet, but I think it should work.
    Or do you happen to have any other ideas to do the same for 200 other entries more easily and quickly.

    regards
