Power Automate: How to Preserve Hyperlinks When Transferring Data Between Excel Files?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
 

I have an Excel file called Template, and from the information filled in it, I use VBA macros to create a new Excel file containing the data from the Template, including hyperlinks. This new file is saved in a specific folder.

Later, I created a flow using Power Automate with the trigger When a file is created (properties only). The flow includes the following steps:

  1. Get tables from the newly created Excel.

  2. List rows present in a table.

  3. An Apply to each loop, which contains Add a row into a table in another Excel file called Database.

When I run the flow, all data is transferred correctly, but the hyperlink data is converted into plain text, losing the clickable link functionality.

I’m looking for resources to resolve this issue, as I haven't been successful with previous suggestions.

Thank you!!
