I have an excel formula that outputs a text string that is a url (web address). I need the functionality of having this url clickable like a standard hyperlink. Normally I would just paste the results of the formula into the hyperlink target but the link is dynamic and changes every week and I don't want to recreate it every week. Kind of defeats the whole purpose. I need it to update dynamically with the formula.

When I use the HYPERLINK function it returns an error: "#VALUE!"
I assume this is because the text of the url is too long (over 200 characters).

Here is the formula:
=TEXT("https://tt.amazon.com/search?category=&assigned_group=",)&A11&"+Data+Tech&status=Resolved%3BClosed&impact=&assigned_individual=&requester_login=&login_name=&cc_email=&phrase_search_text=&keyword_bq=&exact_bq=&or_bq1=&or_bq2=&or_bq3=&exclude_bq=&create_date=&modified_date=&tags=&case_type=&building_id=&resolved_date="&TEXT(B11,"mm\%\2\Fdd\%\2\Fyyyy")&"%2C"&TEXT(C11,"mm\%\2\Fdd\%\2\Fyyyy")&"&search=Search!"

And the formula result:
https://tt.amazon.com/search?category=&assigned_group=IAD88+Data+Tech&status=Resolved%3BClosed&impact=&assigned_individual=&requester_login=&login_name=&cc_email=&phrase_search_text=&keyword_bq=&exact_bq=&or_bq1=&or_bq2=&or_bq3=&exclude_bq=&create_date=&modified_date=&tags=&case_type=&building_id=&resolved_date=12%2F04%2F2016%2C12%2F11%2F2016&search=Search!

<colgroup><col width="461"></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

I either need the formula result to function as a clickable hyperlink
OR
an adjacent cell with a clickable hyperlink that references the text string formula result as the target of the hyperlink
