Mailto: in a sheet

I am trying to create hyperlinks to email addresses in a sheet. I’ve tried two methods.

First, was putting the email address in one column and then using a formula to add “mailto:” in front of it. This is adding the text but they are not clickable.

I also tried using =HYPERLINK("mailto:" + [Email Column]@row, [Email Column]@row but get an unparseable and am guessing that that formula doesn’t work in Smartsheet. Help please 😊

from what I have read, there is a way to do a mailto in the dashboard, but really need one in the sheets. Having a contact list that isn’t clickable is pretty useless.

Hi @Saul C.

There is not a HYPERLINK function in Smartsheet which is why you see the unparseable error.

There is a feature enhancement request for mailto on sheets. You can add you vote and comments to that request here:
