You can make a link clickable in Google Sheets by using the HYPERLINK function.
How to Use the HYPERLINK Function
- Select the cell where you want to display the clickable link.
- Type the following formula:
=HYPERLINK(URL, Link Text)
- URL: Replace this with the actual web address you want to link to.
- Link Text: Replace this with the text you want to display as the link.
- Press Enter to complete the formula.
Examples
- Example 1: To create a link to Google's homepage, you would use the formula
=HYPERLINK("https://www.google.com", "Google Homepage")
. This will display "Google Homepage" as the link, and clicking on it will take you to Google's website. - Example 2: If you want to link to a specific cell within the same spreadsheet, you can use the cell reference as the URL. For instance,
=HYPERLINK("#Sheet1!A1", "Go to Cell A1")
will create a link that takes you to cell A1 on Sheet1.
Additional Tips
- You can use the " " (quotation marks) around the URL and link text to include spaces or special characters.
- You can format the link text using the Font and Alignment options in the toolbar.
- You can also use the Insert > Link option from the Google Sheets menu to create a clickable link.
