Hyperlinks in excel are displayed as texts in Power BI

[Anonymous]

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.
