Extract Hyperlink from Text in Excel-Cell

Posted on by tobias_fate

Hi,

I have an excel sheet with a cell which has a Text + Hyperlink (eg. "Link").

Is it possible to extract the hyperlink of the text in the cell separately using a flow-action?

The flow reads rows from an excel-file into a list. Every time a new excel-file is dropped into the folder, new rows are appended to the SharePoint list.

But I have not been able to extract the link yet. Is there a way to do this?

Thank you very much for your help.

Tobias

Hi @tobias_fate :

The list rows present in table does not return the hyperlink, only the text.

So you might have to create another column in your excel table that has the hyperlink itself.For example:

1\Add a custom function to get the url

ALT + F11 and then navigate to Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications

insert-Modult and then copy this code into the Module

Function GetURL(pWorkRng As Range) As String 'Updateby Extendoffice GetURL = pWorkRng.Hyperlinks(1).Address End Function

2\Add a new column and set it's value to

=getURL(thecell)

Hi @v-bofeng-msft

thank you for your fast reply.
I did some research, there is currently no option without VBA I guess.

So I will use your VBA Solution 🙂 .
