Include Hyperlink in Formula where I'm pulling through the parent task?

chlod24

Hello!

Im my sheet I have a formula in a helper column to pull the value of the parent task into each row - our parent task is our project deliverable name and it helps to have that in line for other views / reports.

In our parent tasks, we are hyperlinking to our project brief. However, that hyperlink does not pull through in the helper column. It would be a game changer to be able to use a formula to pull down the text & the link from the parent task name.

Anyone know any workarounds?

Hi @chlod24

I hope you're well and safe!

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• You can add the URL that I assume you know, but you could also use a URL-shortener service to mimic the hyperlink's name.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,
