How do I convert a column of text URLs into active hyperlinks in Excel?

Question

I have a column in excel, wherein I have all the website url values. My question is I want to turn the url values to active links. There are about 200 entries in that column

Answer 1

I shocked Excel didn't do this automatically so here is my solution I hope would be useful for others,

1. Copy the whole column to clipboard
2. Open this on your Chrome or Firefox

data:text/html,Linkify


3. Paste the column on the page you just opened on the browser and press "Linkify"
4. Copy the result from the tab to the the column on Excel

Instead step two, you can use the below page, first, click on "Run code snippet" then paste the column on it

Linkify
