Hyperlink in Excel

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have created a flow which is extracting some data from salesforce and adding a row in excel. It has hyperlink so my output in excel is generating like this:

 

<a href="/00561000001aaOU" target="_blank">Abhishek Mundra</a>

 

Output should be just - Abhishek Mundra

 

Is there a way I can remove hyperlink in the flow itself so that I get the desired output in the excel? If not, I can probably use string function but I don't know how to use it for that particular field. Look at my output below, I just want names that are in BOLD.

 

<a href="/00561000001aaOU" target="_blank">Abhishek Mundra</a>
<a href="/00561000001aZis" target="_blank">Sanath Kumar</a>
<a href="/00561000001aaU8" target="_blank">Harsh Shukla</a>

 

Please help!

 

Thanks,

Abhishek Mundra

    Hey @Anonymous 

     

    I think you cannot pass hyperlink in excel from flow. If you just want the text from the recieved html type string, you can follow the steps as:

    Expression used:

    first(split(split(outputs('Compose'),'>')[1],'<'))

    You can replace the first compose action output in the expression with the dynamic content of the Salesforce output or save that in a separate compose action and follow the steps above. 

     

    Hope this Helps!
