I have an Excel table with rows of monthly data, and one of my fields is the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI). I want to show in a clear and concise manner that this column's data comes from https://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/NAPM. Ideally I would have the column labeled "PMI [source]" with "source" being a hyperlink to the site. However, that's not going to work in Excel because you can't hyperlink only part of a cell. I also don't want to rename the column to "PMI (source: https://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/NAPM)" and include the full hyperlink in the text of the column header, because that would make the column header way too long. What else can I do?

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Is it the same hyperlink for each row or is the hyperlink based on data in the table?

If it's the latter then you could probably add a column for the hyperlink and use the HYPERLINK(link, [display_name]) worksheet function.
