Hello everyone,
I have hyperlinks in my excel file which is the data soruce of my Power Bi report. I guess power BI "Text to display" from the hyperlink that doesn't contain meta data (actual link). Excel display of the links
Power Bi display
Is there a way to extract URLs without changing anything on the excel or basically enable these links in Power BI?
*Neither changing data type nor conditional formatting works.

Hi @Anonymous ,
Currently, there is no related feature that can directly recognize text with hyperlinks. You could create a column from Excel, specifically extract the hyperlinks in the text, and then import it into Power BI.
For the unsupported feature, you could submit an idea and vote for it: Ideas.
