I want a concat'd hyperlink tied to a button, that when clicked, goes to a website, which would be the dynamic input of what the user entered into a cell added to the end of a static website address I have in another cell. I'm using this function to search a website that puts the user input at the end of a search url. Can someone help me? I know how to make automatic hyperlinks between two cells with if and concat and the hyperlink function. I just don't know how to attach them to a button, and make it so the user input dictates the url that's visited when the button is clicked.

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Create the button in Developer, assign a macro to it:

Working example, concatenating the fixed https and a variable, in this case, search text to add to a google search:

VBA Code:
Sub Button1_Click()
    ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink (Cells(1, 2).Value & Cells(2, 2).Value)
End Sub
