Google-sheets – Universal formula for generating Google Spreadsheet hyperlinks from cell contents

In Google Sheets, when you copy a formula that uses relative references to another cell, that references are automatically updated.

A basic example

If in cell B2 the formula is =A2 and you copy it and paste to cell B43, the resulting formula will be =A43.

An example for the specific case of this question

If in cell B2 the formula is
=HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("http://example.com?id=",A2),A2)
and you copy it and paste to cell B455, the resulting formula will be
=HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("http://example.com?id=",A455),A455).
