I was recently writing a simple Powershell script to automatically create data in Google Sheets. I used the excellent post from  James Chambers  to show me the details of the process. The code is simple enough  1. Import-Module UMN-Google 2. Use Set-GSheetData to populate the data It all works until the Hyperlinks I created were being rendered as strings, with leading single quotes. This means they look pretty awful and I dont intend to manually correct them. #defeatsthepurpose. The solution is to force the Set-GSheetData with  -valueInputOption "USER_ENTERED"  which then overrides the default behaviour of setting the values to a string. Simple when you know how.
