Hi,
I am trying to open a google sheet file from an action button. This file is a kind of reporting format. The reason to open this file is so that user can print it from their phone. Is this possible or not?
Solved! Go to Solution.
It should be easy to try for yourself. The steps would be:
I have some time so Iโll try to create an example to see how it works.
Yes, I think you can. I have not done so but I believe you would need a column defined as type URL and then copy and paste the Google link to the Google sheet into that column.
Then you would need to use the โopen a fileโ action type or possibly the โgo to a websiteโ (since its a URL). I am not certain which.
May I ask for an example?

I created a little tester view in a test app following the steps above, it worked perfectly.
I tested from both the emulator and from my phone. I also tested with a Google Doc, Google Sheet and an Excel XLSX on my Google Drive. All opened without an issue.
Hi,
Does your method work with a file that is created in an automated workflow? I have an excel file that is created. It saves to a folder in Google Drive. I haven't figured out how to insert the file URL into the workflow yet. Any help is appreciated.
Please start a new topic to address your question.
Hi John,
I have tested the steps and it works. Thank you.
