I have a drop down list with 4 options - A, B, C, and D. I need that only when C is selected from the list, the cell itself has a hyperlink. So, if cell B4 gets the value C from the drop down list, then C or the cell itself should be hyperlinked to say Google.com. If any other value is selected, then no hyperlink.
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Try placing the following sub in the code section of the sheet where you have your dropdown in cell B4:
Code:
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.Address <> "$B$4" Then Exit Sub
    If Target.Value = "C" Then
        ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Target, "http://www.google.com", , , "C"
    Else
        Target.Hyperlinks.Delete
    End If
End Sub

Try this:
This is an auto sheet event script
Your Workbook must be Macro enabled
To install this code:
Right-click on the sheet tab
Select View Code from the pop-up context menu
Paste the code in the VBA edit window


Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B4")) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Or IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo M
If Target.Value = "C" Then
Link = "https://www.Google.com"
ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:=Link, NewWindow:=True
End If
End If
Exit Sub
M:
MsgBox "Bad Link"
End Sub

Not sure why you would want to do a thing like you asked for in Post #1
But you could go into the data validation list and add values like:

Google,Apple,Cnn,Fox

Then using this script you would be taken to that site when you choose the value from the drop down list.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B4")) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Or IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo M
Dim ans As String
ans = "https://www."
anss = ".com"
Link = ans & Target.Value & anss
ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:=Link, NewWindow:=True
End If
Exit Sub
M:
MsgBox "Bad Link"
End Sub
