Hello,

I have a quick question about power query and hyperlinks.
My original data that i am working with in power query is a normal excel workbook with hyperlinks. The column contains a hyperlink that says click here with the normal blue hyperlink underline. all the hyperlinks work fine within the original data, but once I import the data into power query all my hyperlinks get converted to "click here" as normal text. power query is dropping the hyperlink.

How can I correct this?

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Power Query doesn't support hyperlinks
it will work with visible data not formula

if there will be : =HYPERLINK("http://www.google.com","click here") as text then it will work with PQ but in the result table loaded to the sheet you will need replace = with =
yes, the same with the same then it will work
eg.
datelink
09/06/2020=HYPERLINK("http://www.google.com","click here")

then
