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

If you copy the text contents into a new column and use:

=HYPERLINK("http://"&B10,B10) 

on your original column. Then use the $ for the column so it looks like this:

=HYPERLINK("http://"&$B10,$B10)

That's the only way it worked for me on Excel 2010 on Windows 7. You can copy down the formula.
