Help with URL or Hyperlink

I want to try and link a field to a Google doc.

I selected the field URL and added as an example,

Not the real linksโ€ฆ

HYPERLINK(โ€œhttps://docs.google.com/doc/d/1lr9LKXlHncVYqbHhUNvIRVEHpoOEw2shmttUeHq4huU/edit?usp=sharing","HOW TO CLEANโ€)

I got the Hyperlink from using the sharing option and have set the sharing option to anyone can view.

This then gives me 2 fields one containing the URL and another one containing โ€œHOW TO CLEANโ€.

I thought it would give me a โ€œHOW TO CLEANโ€ field that the user could click on.

UPDATE:

I think that the special characters in the google docs link would stop it from working so I did this.

HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE(โ€œhttps://docs.google.com/doc/d/1lr9LKXlHncVYqbHhUNvIRVEHpoOEw2shmttUeHq4huU/edit?usp=",โ€œsharingโ€),"HO... TO CLEANโ€)

But it didnโ€™t fix the problem so I attempted this.

HYPERLINK(
CONCATENATE(
โ€œhttps://docs.google.com/doc/d/1lr9LKXlHncVYqbHhUNvIRVEHpoOEw2shmttUeHq4huU/edit?usp=โ€,
ENCODEURL(โ€œsharingโ€)
),
โ€œHOW TO CLEANโ€)

Now I am out of ideasโ€ฆ

You havenโ€™t explained how it doesnโ€™t work. Where and how are you using this hyperlink?

It just shows a greyed out field with the url link therein. I canโ€™t do anything with the field.

I want to be able to click on the link, which is called โ€œHOW TO CLEANโ€ and be directed to the Google doc.

Where? Please post a screenshot.
