Just copy and paste the below formula in any of the cell

="store.murpheythejeweler.com/store/p/"&7062+ROW(A1)&"-Tungsten-Flat-8mm-Polished-Band.aspx"

Now place the cursor on the pasted cell and drag it for the remaining cells.

Or

Copy that cell and paste it for the remaining cells.

If this post helps, Click Yes!

Yes, you were right in the subject line. The facility you want is
"conditional formatting", so that is what you should type into Excel help.
If there is something specific in there that you don't understand, come back
to us with more details of what you don't understand.

Using the 'formula is' option to refer the other cell within the formula is
the key..

like =B1=criteria will conditional format the selected cell based on cell B1
