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

For anyone landing here with Excel 2016, you can simply highlight the column, then click the Hyperlink tab located on the Home ribbon in the Styles box.

Edit: Unfortunately, this only updates the cell style, not the function.
