Using Smart Links to link to a specific spot in a spreadsheet

Hi does anyone know how to use Smart Links to link to a specific spot in a spreadsheet? 

When I use get link to this cell in Google sheets and paste that into Smart Links it doesn't work, it will bring me to the first tab of the spreadsheet.  

Thanks in advance!

I used support and the chatbot was able to answer my question...

Unfortunately, Smart Links in Confluence do not support linking directly to a specific cell in a Google Sheets document. When you use the "Get link to this cell" feature in Google Sheets and paste it into Confluence as a Smart Link, it defaults to opening the first tab of the spreadsheet rather than the specific cell. This is a limitation of how Smart Links handle Google Sheets URLs[^00^].

If you need to direct users to a specific cell, you might consider including instructions or a note in your Confluence page to guide them to the correct location within the spreadsheet after they open it.

PS - Community Product Team you should consider running a community question post through the chatbot before allowing the user to post the question.
