Creating a view with a dynamic link from taxonomy term
In the contextual filters you may have to add the Context: Has taxonomy term ID filter.  You can set the Specify validation criteria settings.  The validator option is usually Taxonomy Term, but other validator options are available. Make sure to choose Term Name converted to Term ID, as this is what is needed to be passed for to the url.  Also check the Transform dashes in URL to spaces in term name filter values checkbox underneath.
Choose your action to take if the filter value does not validate dropdown.
