Hyperlink within Datatable

Posted on by MT-19041940-0

I built a DataTable with several columns imported from an Excel online data connection.

One of the columns consist of URLs, which is not working.

I have changed the "IsHyperlink" to "true" and that turned all the URL blue, so they look like links.

But still it does not work to click on them?
Since its a DataTable, i'm not able to use OnSelect within it, or at least i cant find it.

Also, if i change the "text" for the column data and type Click here instead, will the URL still be there in the background?

Because the URL is really long, and i just want it to be user friendly.

Anyone know whats going wrong?

@MT-19041940-0,

I too tried the same way for me its working,

What is the formula which you written on the Select ?

I tried with this Launch(DataTable1.Selected.Link) its working fine.

If you already tried and its not working , I have implemented in some other way as shown below.

Place button and data-table

Link Column

I am selecting the button.

Button

Using Launch Function i am passing the selected data table value.

Also, if i change the "text" for the column data and type Click here instead, will the URL still be there in the background?

@MT-19041940-0, Hi,

Enable IsHyperlink will not make it work, it is still a text field.

First you have split/pickup the real link to a seprated column in Excel.

My idea is :

Use Gallery, define the layout, use a HtmlText for display the url. it is clickable.

"<a href='" & If( StartsWith( ThisItem.UrlAddress, "http" ), ThisItem.UrlAddress, "https://" & ThisItem.UrlAddress ) & "' target='_blank'>" & ThisItem.UrlColumn & "</a>" //for HtmlText

Import excel data into dataverse, one column use Url format.v ( example Account, Website column)

also, consider @MS.Ragavendar 's answer.
