In this article we will show you how to hyperlink in google sheets using insert link, the HYPERLINK formula and the right click method. Simply follow the steps below:
In our example we have clicked cell A1 as this is where we would like to add a hyperlink
In our example we would like our display text to be “Lido Website”.
This step will require you to input a valid website URL to create your hyperlink. In our case we would like to use the URL https://www.lido.app/.
If you have an existing link, you can simply copy the link from the URL bar in your web browser and paste it like so:
You can also type your link in the URL box and Google Sheets will give you URL suggestions from the internet to choose from as you type.
Now you will have a cell containing a clickable hyperlink with the text you specified.
In our example we will select cell A1 as this is where we would like to add a hyperlink.
Here we will be using the HYPERLINK formula in the form of =HYPERLINK(“link”,”text”)
Formula Breakdown:
Link: This is where you input your URL
Text: Text is your display label for the hyperlink. This is what appears inside the cell.
Remember to enclose each of these in quotation marks (“”) as your inputs are not cell references. Forgetting to put quotation marks will result in #ERROR! Or #NAME? prompts.
For this example we will put =hyperlink("https://www.lido.app/","Lido")
You now have a hyperlink that uses your desired URL and anchor text (display text). Click on the hyperlink to view a preview of the link. Clicking on the preview will take you to the website.
Let’s still use “Lido” for our display text and “https://www.lido.app/” for the URL.
Now you have your hyperlink available on your sheet.
