Default Pasting a value as an hyperlink

I have imported a list from a database of file paths to documents on our
server, these data is currently formatted as 'General'

Is there anyway of converting that value into a hyperlink to the said
documents?

Default Pasting a value as an hyperlink

If your list is the complete path and file name, then in an adjacent
column you could just do:

=HYPERLINK(A1)

and copy this down.

If you wish to you could fix the values and then you would not need
column A.

Hope this helps.
