In Excel, a hyperlink in a formula typically refers to a link to another cell or a website. You can create hyperlinks in Excel formulas using the HYPERLINK function. The HYPERLINK function is used to create a clickable link that can take you to another location within the same workbook, to a different workbook, or to a website.
The basic syntax of the HYPERLINK function is as follows:
=HYPERLINK(link_location, [friendly_name])
link_location: This is the address of the link. It can be a cell reference, a named range, a file path, or a URL.
friendly_name (optional): This is the text that is displayed for the hyperlink. If you omit this argument, Excel will display the actual link_location as the hyperlink text.
Here's an example:
=HYPERLINK("https://www.example.com", "Visit Example Website")
In this example, the formula creates a hyperlink to "https://www.example.com" with the displayed text "Visit Example Website."
You can use cell references or named ranges as the link_location as well. For instance:
=HYPERLINK(A1, "Click here")
In this case, if the value in cell A1 is a valid link (such as a URL or another cell reference), clicking on the cell containing this formula will take you to the linked location.
Remember that when using the HYPERLINK function, the link is not activated until you click on the cell containing the formula. If you want a cell to automatically open a link without clicking, you might consider using the HYPERLINK function in combination with the CELL function and a macro, but that involves more advanced Excel features.
