I think Google Sheets can be an incredible tool for organizing projects – endless rows and columns allow me to track and categorize things to my heart’s content. (You should see my Byzantine spreadsheet for my family’s personal finances.)
Until recently, however, I ran into a major limitation that worried my organizational brain. If I wanted to add hyperlinks to a cell, I could just hyperlink the whole cell instead of hyperlinking the individual words within it. That means, for example, if I want to track interesting links about personal finance in my spreadsheet, I have to create individual cells for Each of those hyperlinks, Which can fill more cells faster than I like.
But earlier this summer, when researching a bigger story, I subconsciously noticed that something had changed. I could hyperlink everything I wanted in one cell, so I could pack Even more organization In my craft spreadsheets. The symptom was so good – and it felt so natural – that I immediately started using it as if it was always there, and didn’t even think much about it.
But today, another Edge The employee also enthusiastically noted the change, rather than share it There are edges Sl as a PSA. And then my editor realized that he, like me, started using it without even thinking about it. It’s just that simple.
Admittedly, my peers and the hyperlinking party might be a little late. I received a Google support thread discussing the new functionality on May 7th and posted a YouTube tutorial the same day. But maybe the feature reached out to my colleagues and I a little later than May, because Google rolls out features from time to time.
We thought we’d share our shared search for convenience with you, dear ones Edge Reader, so you can start hyperlinking all things.
