How to keep hyperlinks from cells when going from excel table -> excel file in sharepoint file

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by sheenayy 6

My issue is that Hyperlinks from cells do not get carried over, only the text from the cell does.

 

Current flow:
start Excel table ->

  1. list rows present in the file (some cells in the table have hyperlinks) 
  2.  Apply to each 2
    1. add a row into table using @{items('Apply_to_each_2')['column name']}

how would I make it so hyperlinks get carried over? Would I change the adding row expression?

    Hi  @sheenayy , 

    No , unless you add a new column to save the hyperlinks. For example:

     

    1\You could create a new function named GetActAddress to get the hyperlinks by AVD:

     

    Function GetActAddress(HlinkCell)
    Application.Volatile True
    With HlinkCell.Hyperlinks(1)
    GetActAddress = IIf(.Address = "", .SubAddress, .Address)
    End With
    End Function

    2\Copy the whole column and paste as values

    Okay, I have made it so I can get those hyperlinks in new columns via a script. 


    How do I make it so I can merge the hyperlink back into the text cells?

    Can I do it via Power automate, or will I have to do script again
