Can I have a hyperlinks column in my sheet with one word/sentence hyperlink for each cell that shows up as a hyperlinked word/sentence on my app that users could click on to open their browser to view? These links would be outside of the app. ---

If you use Rich Text components you can have your links in cells that look like this: ```auto [Click here for the link](https://google.com) ``` [Click here for the link](https://google.com) ---

Thank you, but I am still struggling with this. Very sorry. I have links in my sheet. You say that I should use Rich Text components, but how do you switch from what glide reads from basic text to rich text? I added a link component, but it does not go to the link (get an error message) even though I can reach the link on the via the sheet. Anyway, I am just slow. I watch the tutorials but they move too fast for someone who is learning. Whatever advice you have would be great. THANKS. ---

You can remove and add components. If you don’t want to use the basic text component, then delete it and add a rich text component instead. What do you have in your cell that contains your link? ---

Thank you. Here is an example of what one of my links says in the sheet: =HYPERLINK(“[https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2020-04/hr266.pdf","Get](https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2020-04/hr266.pdf%22,%22Get) To Estimate Here”) ---

Just put the URL alone in the cell. That extra formula is just to make it look nice inside the sheet. It’s not being recognized as a link with that extra stuff around it. ---

That was it. I did not realize that you had to just have the URL there and nothing else. THANKS!
