I have a couple of Excel spreadsheets which have colums of internet links as text (with and without the http in front)

www.example.com
www.anotherexample.com
thirdexample.com/index.html
http://www.example4.com
etc.

It would be enormously convienent for me if these links were the clickable kind I could open directly from Excel, but I only know how to change them one at a time. (For example, right click, hyperlink, past cell contents into the address box, click ok.)

Is there a way to make all the links clickable in a column at once? I feel like I should be able to write a macro for this, but, but I'm not sure what I'd put in it. ;) :)

Edit: Never mind, found the information I needed here

Aww, man. I JUST got done writing it for you!

One thing it doesnt cover is apparently if the link doesnt contain http:// or https:// excel doesnt consider it a vaild link - so mine catches for that.
