EXCEL: HYPERLINK WITH DYNAMIC XLS FILE

Hello,
I have a Excel file with odbc connexion.
for the sample I need the following:

col A - data
col B - URL
col C - data

is there a way to make automatically col B hyperlink link ?
I know how to do it with normal xls spreed but not with dynamic ...

Would it be acceptable to put a formula column to the right of the results columns?
=HYPERLINK(B1)
or make the dynamic columns hidden and create 3 columns to the right so you have
=A1
=HYPERLINK(B1)
=C1

Hi bruno_boccara,

If you don't want to create a macro and as long as you don't mind an additional column, then just create a new column alongside your column of URLs. (here, col B)

In the new column type in the formula =HYPERLINK(B). Then copy the formula down the rest of the entries.

I do not want to add manually formula.

If I have to create a macro , it is also ok with me. what will be the macro ?

Public Sub Convert_To_Hyperlinks()
Dim Cell As Range
For Each Cell In Intersect(Selection, ActiveSheet.UsedRange)
If Cell <> "" Then
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Cell, Cell.Value
End If
Next
End Sub
