Automatic Hyperlinking

Abdul Tahlil

Hi,

I have been investigating whether Automatic Hyperlinking is something that can be done within Smartsheet.

For example: A hyperlink in Column A and text in Column B, Automatic Hyperlinked Text Column C.

The consensus seems to be that this feature doesn't exist or can't be implemented. Has anyone found a work around?

Thank you.

Hi @Abdul Tahlil

I agree with Ryan! If you want to use a formula or some other way to get a URL, it will need to be displayed as a full URL in the cell in order for it to be clickable. There currently isn't a way to hide a link behind display text in an automated manner.

Please add your vote and situation to this Product Idea post to let the Smartsheet Product team know that this is a feature you would like to see implemented in the future:

Hi Abdul,

You should be able to use the formula in column C to create the hyperlink...

Is that not working for you?
