How to conditionally format a row if a hyperlink to another smartsheet is included
I would like to highlight rows that do not include a hyperlink to another smartsheet. I thought it may be best to create logical formula in a hidden column and then conditionally format anything that is showing as false (0) in formula is highlighted. Can anyone let me know which formula can work?

Hi @Rebecca Hill
Hope you are fine, if you add a screenshot ( remove any sensitive data ) for your sheet i can write the exact formula for you, but in general, you can use a formula such as:
=IF(ISBLANK([Column1]1), 0, 1)

@Bassam.M Khalil The cell would not be blank whether it contains hyperlink or not. So I don't think this particular formula would work.

I hope you're well and safe!
To add to Bassam's excellent advice/answer.
Try something like this.
=IF([Smartsheet Link]@row <> ""; 0;1)
Depending on your country/region, you'll need to exchange the comma to a period.
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Hello,
I would like to highlight rows where a cell in column A does not include a hyperlink (regardless if to another Smartsheet file or a different URL outside Smartsheet).
Is there a formula that can enable this?
Thanks,
Filip

Hi @Filip
There currently isn't a function in Smartsheet that can identify if hyperlinks are housed behind text in a cell. You can create formulas to check if the cell is blank, like the two formulas above, but if there's text in the cell it won't be able to search for a hyperlink behind it. Please let the Product team know of your request and feedback through this form, here!
Cheers,
Genevieve
