When I try to encode a HTML anchor link in CSV file cell it becomes corrupted and not readable by Excel.
Is there some sort of non-HTML solution or format to encode a hyperlink in CSV file cell?
Actual Results: CSV contains Excel formulas for attributes that use links, such as '=HYPERLINK("http://xxx/niku/nu#action:projmgr.projectProperties&id=5047176","4G Upgrade Readiness")'. Clicking in the cell may also generate a message to indicate 'Text values in formulas are limited to 255 characters'.
Select the entire column with Hyperlinks: click on any cell with data and press Ctrl+Space. Right-click on any selected cell and select "Remove hyperlinks" from the context menu.
On a worksheet, select the cell where you want to create a link. On the Insert tab, select Hyperlink. You can also right-click the cell and then select Hyperlink... on the shortcut menu, or you can press Ctrl+K. Under Display Text:, type the text that you want to use to represent the link.
For when automagicalism doesn't work, and you're definitely using Excel, use this as the field content.
=HYPERLINK("http://stackoverflow.com")
This worked for me:
=HYPERLINK
function, the first parameter is the web link, the second is the cell value."
quotes around the entire function. ""
Here's a four-column comma-delimited example.csv
:
5,6,"=HYPERLINK(""http://www.yahoo.com"";""See Yahoo"")",8
When a spreadsheet program (LibreOffice, etc.) opens this .csv, it creates an active link for you.
