Is CTRL + K really the only option???

Josh Reed

Has anyone found any way to automate hyperlinking? I find it crazy you have to do them manually as the only option...

I have a column of 200+ names, I have another column with a URL that would take you to that name's account in web based analytical software.

I want the user to be able to click on the name and be taken to the corresponding profile at the aforementioned web app. I've tried using the hyperlink formula in Excel and then copy/pasting, no dice... there's no "hyperlink formula" available in smartsheet.

So if I want this to happen I'll have to do all 200+ by hand? What if it was 2000?

Hi @Josh Reed

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible to do it differently (it might be possible with the Smartsheet API), but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

Thanks @Andrée Starå

I was willing to settle for just the written out hyperlink, I made it a small column just to the left of the name and labeled it "link". It's not as beautiful as I'd like it to be, but it gets the job done.

Have a good weekend!
