Natarajan,
Is the word "Link" included with the ID in each cell? I would strip out
"Link" and any leading/trailing spaces. Then you should be able to use the
HYPERLINK() function:
(I'm assuming that the data you listed in your original post starts in cell
A2)
Enter this formula in cell B2:
=HYPERLINK("http://www.ncbi/nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=pubmed&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch="
& A2 & "&ordinalpos=1.............", "enter the text you want to display in
the cell here or use a cell reference without quotes")
Be sure to finish off the link after " & A2 & ". Also, don't copy & paste
my formula above. I typed it in as I was looking at your original
link.......it could have typos.
HTH,
Conan
