Exceeding Max Char Limit in Excel

Question

How do I use more than 255 characters in Excel\'s CONCATENATE function? I am actually also using the CONCATENATE function within the HYPERLINK function in EXCEL. An example

Answer 1

Assuming you do not have very many hyperlink URLs >255 characters, just use the Link function. The link function is available from the right-click menu. No need to go to Word or any other MSOffice application. I know this works as I have a URL that is 281 characters long and that one works. I only have two very long URLs in my sheet so when/if they need updating I am making a note that they must be done in the target cell vs. on my sheet of hyperlink addresses.
