Converting hyperlink to text value

Hello,

 

I currently have the following formula in Excel. When I upload to power query within Power BI, it takes the formula as plain text. Is there any way to show "click here" in the 'Project Name' column instead? Currently, I "copy and paste values" the Project Name field within Excel before uploading to Power BI to circumvent the issue.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @AW11 

In power query of Power BI Desktop, it cannot support the hyperlink , it will return only text format, but you can implement in a table visual, you can refer to the following solution.

1.Split the hyperlink and the text to two columns.
