Possible to get hyperlink data from textfield?
I am importing data from a xlsx file. Within this file there are text fields who also contain hyperlinks. When I import the excel file into PowerBi all I can see is the actual content of the text...
Hi phyten,
Unfortunately, there is no better method besides editing Excel file to work around this issue.
Regarding to your requirement, you can submit a new idea in the Power BI ideas forum or add your vote in the link that ImkeF provides.
Thanks,

Regarding my second question whether it is possibel to just show a placeholder/keyword for the link to click I found a solution.
