Can Excel interpret the URLs in my CSV as hyperlinks?

"=HYPERLINK(\"\" " + "http://www.mywebsite.com"+ "\"\")" use this format before writing to CSV.

As described above, "=HYPERLINK(""http://www.google.com"", ""Google"")" is what worked for me.

However, In Excel Version 2204 Click to Run, I couldn't have leading white space.

For example;

FirstName, "=HYPERLINK(""http://www.google.com"", ""Google"")" fails FirstName,"=HYPERLINK(""http://www.google.com"", ""Google"")" success

The issue here for me was that because a .CSV by it's nature is Comma separated, any commas in the text file are interpreted as separators. It worked for me by using tab characters as separators, saving it as a .TXT file so that when opened in EXCEL you choose the TAB character rather than ','.

In the text file …

## ensure that the file is TAB separated Item 1 A file Name data.txt
Item 2 Col 2 =HYPERLINK("http:\www.ilexuk.com","ILEX")

"ILEX" then is shown in the cell and "http:\www.ilexuk.com" is the hyperlink for the cell.
