Is there a possible way i can use a formula to enable me to click a cell and it open up a new google search with the contents of that cell?

In column J i have school names, upon clicking i would like to perform a google search for the specified school. for multiple clicks would i be able to perform multiple searchs in new tabs?

eg
cell J37 = Blatchington Mill School

which would result in google search ---

http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Blatchington Mill School&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

cell J38 = Little Heath School

which would result in google search

http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Little Heath School&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8


etc etc, is this possible? i can forsee it working similarly to hyperlinks to emails, but i do not want to hyperlink them manually.

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
oh, and will this formula be ok if i send the excel sheet to others because i have had a problem in the past where its worked on my computer but not for others.

Thanks
