Are formula (functions) supported in Google Docs?


I have often used =lorem() or =rand() to generate random text in MS-Word. Are any formula or functions, not necessarily random text generator, supported in Google Docs?

To be more specific, can we insert hyperlink the way we insert in Spreadsheets i.e for instance, =HYPERLINK(url,text) is used in Sheets. Can anything can be done in Google Docs for the same?

Kindly note, I am not looking for shortcuts.


Solution

  • Regarding the random text generator I remember there was an add-on to generate lorem ipsum but it was not in-built like MS-Word's =lorem().

    Regarding the formula, it can't be done unfortunately as of now in Google Docs.
