This may sound confusing and I will try to clear up what I am trying to do here.
I think it's awesome that you can create hyperlinks to a mass amount of data by using the =HYPERLINK formula. The problem is, I want my end data to be the friendly text with a hyperlink attached to it. I don't want that data to be a formula, because then you have to have 2 columns with identical data (not actually identical, but it appears so because of the friendly name). Is there a way to actually attribute the hyperlinks to the formula cells so that I could copy and paste the formula column as values and then the hyperlinks would still be attached? Then I could also delete the first column. See my excel sample below.

Yes, but then I have to type the different hyperlink for each item. My hyperlink has a string of text that always stays the same, "ebms:inventry?", followed by the text in column A. I want to use a formula to add a hyperlink to the original cell and then be able to delete the formula column. I don't really know how all this works, but it may have to be done by a macro.
