Back in 2008, I was not familiar with that method, but it does seem to work quite well. Just create a column to the right and enter =hyperlink(A1), drag it to the match the rows you are selecting in column A.

Why not just use the function =HYPERLINK().

Very helpful.

Format painter also works. You can do a whole range of cells.

the macro seems to work well on small data sets. but we routinely process over 60,000 records. and it (i assume its VB) blows up every time. We are using Excell 2010.

Brilliant. You do not know how many times I have double clicked to make a hyper link. I have done thousands and thousands. Thank you very much.

Sorry, left a few details out. In example above I have my text hyperlinks in column 1 and it will place the html hyperlinks into column 2.

Couldn’t get it to work for some reason in 2007. This works for me. It takes text hyperlinks in col 1 and put html link in col2, like ABC News in col1 and converts to www.abcnews.com/latestnews.com, which is value of text link.

Sub Test()

For Each hl In ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks

Cells(hl.Parent.Row, 2).Value = hl.Address

Next hl

End Sub

I expected a column of URL addresses to convert to usable website links. This program will not work for this. It converts the URL into a hypertext link to a URL file name in the directory where the Excel spreadsheet is located. | :P
