How to enable hyperlinks in Excel

Question

Supposing I have a lot of hyperlinks in a worksheet, normally, I can open them by clicking them one by one, but click multiple times will be annoying, so, I want if there is a quick way to open all of the selected hyperlinks at the same time. From the below article, I can solve this task with an easy way.

Does not work for me: after selecting a range, nothing happens. Values are valid URLs.

Thanks!
Works exactly as expected. Must be sure that the links are already valid URLs.
I opened 15 at one time.

When I use this on a column of hyperlinks generated by the =HYPERLINK() formula, it doesn't seem to work. When I copy/paste the values into a new column and run it there, it doesn't work. When I go to each individual cell, go to the end of text, and hit enter (causing it to become a hyperlink) it DOES work.

This didn't work for my needs, unfortunately. I have thousands of rows and clicking enter at the end of each line of text is pretty much what I'm having to do anyway.

@James @Johan - Select the text you wish to convert into hyperlink, then use this code to convert the text into hyperlink directly. Then run the code above, works like a charm.

Sub HyperAdd()

'Converts each text hyperlink selected into a working hyperlink

For Each xCell In Selection
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=xCell, Address:=xCell.Formula
Next xCell

End Sub

Hello! What I did was to copy/paste the values from the =HYPERLINK code into a different column, and then I used @SimpleDude's code to convert the pasted text into the hyperlinks that worked with the original hyperlink-opening code. Thank you for the help!
