HYPERLINK

HYPERLINK

Description

Converts a URL into a clickable link on a sheet.

Syntax

HYPERLINK(
url
, [
label
]
  • url
    : The URL. For linking within a workbook, precede the path with a pound sign (#).
  • label
    : The clickable text to display in the cell. If you don't include this argument, the function uses the
    url
    argument as the clickable text. You can use a cell reference to contain the label.

Example

Formula
Result
=HYPERLINK("http://www.workday.com","Workday")
Workday (as a clickable link)
=HYPERLINK("#"&REMOVEROWS(INFO("wd.sheet.names")))
Creates a list of clickable links to the sheets of the workbook, excluding the current sheet.
=IFERROR(HYPERLINK(F1),"None")
Cell F1 displays the text
None
if an error occurs in the HYPERLINK function.

Notes

  • This function is similar to the URL function; however, to maintain compatibility with Excel, HYPERLINK doesn't have the optional tooltip argument.
  • Keep in mind that if you use the right-click (context) menu in a Microsoft® Excel® workbook to create a hyperlink, and then you upload the workbook to Worksheets, it isn't converted into a HYPERLINK function; it becomes a link-formatted cell containing a URL.
