If there are hyperlinks in the excel cells, the regular Read Cell activity returns only the text to display and not the actual URL.This custom activity returns the hyperlink address from the cell. To do this you need to provide the following input details:<ul><li>cell address: e.g. A2</li><li>path of the Excel file</li><li>sheet name where the cell containing the URL is.</li></ul>

Reads any URL from Excel cells hidden by text alias

Great component - Great component. It doesn't even open Excel while running, unlike the custom VBA code.


 - Very nice component.  I am struggling to read hyperlinks in excel.  Your excel activity is really useful for me. 


 - Great idea to create this activity! It saves a lot of time during development!


 - good and well-working solution. Thanks a lot!


 - I liked this one a lot, very straight forward. I didn't know when there's a hyperlink or a string URL, and in my case this is happening sometime, to have a mixture of both - that is why I had to first read the actual cell value and search for URL specific elements - if one couldn't be found, I then used this component. Anyway, great thing, really helpful. Thanks!


 - It does what it promises with a major bug: It leaves the excel process running (Windows 10).
So, when you iterate and want to extract e.g. 10 links, it will leave 10 different excel processes running which drains the computer memory for no reason.
