Hello,
I have a set of websites listed in an excel sheet, I tried to extract hyperlink using VBA code (I found it online), but I find out that they not clickable. Could you edit it or give another trick to fix this problem, please?

VBA Code:
Sub ExtractHL()
Dim HL As Hyperlink
For Each HL In ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks
HL.Range.Offset(0, 1).Value = HL.Address
Next
End Sub

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
The following works if the list of the URLs are listed as:

www.somewhere.com
www.nowhere.com
www.here.com
etc.
etc.

VBA Code:
Sub ConvertTextURLsToHyperlinks()
    Dim Cell As Range
    For Each Cell In Intersect(Selection, ActiveSheet.UsedRange)
        If Cell <> "" Then
            ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Cell, "HTTP://" & Cell.Value
        End If
    Next
End Sub

You will first need to highlight all of the cell range to be converted then run the macro.

I tried this macro code, but it did not work.

From the example list there is no reliable means of determining if the link requires a ".com" or ".net" or ".edu", etc. etc. to be added by vba.

???

The following will work with the example you have provided. HOWEVER, keep in mind, if there is a website term that does not end in ".com", the following code will not work.

VBA Code:
'' NOTE: First select the cells for conversion, then click the button :

Sub ConvertTextURLsToHyperlinks()
    Dim Cell As Range
    For Each Cell In Intersect(Selection, ActiveSheet.UsedRange)
        If Cell <> "" Then
            ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Cell, "HTTP://" & Cell.Value & ".com"
        End If
    Next
End Sub

Also ... prior to clicking the Command Button, the cells with the website names must be highlighted (selected).

The code works very fine; thank you.
Please!
I need a second favor from you if you don't mind.
Based on the same example where the column A contains the websites, I need the extract the hyperlinks in the column B without me clicking twise on the cell to make the hyperlink active. so the code should extracts and activates the hyperlinks from column A into column B. Would that be possible?

I dont understand having to click twice. Here it only requires one click to initiate the link.
