It is very simple. Suppose the cell with the Path is cell B9 and the one with the name of the file is cell B8. Then enter this formula into the cell next to Hyperlink:
=HYPERLINK(B9&B8)
That is all there is to it.
You can have the cell display some other text than the entire path and name of the file as follows:
=HYPERLINK(B9&B8,"Click here to open "&B8)
=HYPERLINK(B9&B8)
That is all there is to it.
