Problem: A2 Will not “Launch” B2 which contains a “Friendly Named Web Address Hyperlink”. I need B2 to contain a Friendly Name of my choosing.

Formula in A2: =HYPERLINK(B2,"Launch")

Formula in B2: =HYPERLINK("https://www.google.com/","Google")

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.

A1A1=HYPERLINK(C1,"Launch")

Thanks – That almost works for what I’m trying to build. I should have explained it better. My bad. After deleting header row 1 it will look like this below. There will be a drop-down menu in column C referencing or pointing to validated data in column B which will be a hidden column. I will then use the drop down to select a site, click launch, and go to the website.

Again the problem is with Friendly name links in column B clicking Launch go nowhere.
