How to use the HYPERLINK function to create clickable links in Google Sheets?

The HYPERLINK function in Google Sheets allows you to create clickable links that direct users to a specific web page or another cell within the same sheet. The syntax for the HYPERLINK function is as follows:

=HYPERLINK(link_location, [friendly_name])

The link_location argument specifies the URL or cell reference that you want to link to. The [friendly_name] argument is optional and allows you to specify the text that will be displayed in the cell instead of the full URL or cell reference. To create a clickable link, simply enter the HYPERLINK function into the cell where you want the link to appear and provide the appropriate link location and friendly name arguments.

For example, if you want to create a clickable link to the Google homepage with the text 'Google', you would enter the following formula into a cell:

=HYPERLINK('https://www.google.com/', 'Google')

When a user clicks on the cell containing this formula, they will be directed to the Google homepage.
