We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!
We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.
You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.
While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.
We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.
Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!
trying to import Excel spreadsheet but column contains text and hyperlinks - hyperlinks are lost when I import the data
Hello bsowebteam.
Thank you for your purchase.
Can you please send us that Excel file, so that we can try re-creating it locally?
Also, you said you tried importing the file - that means you used the third option when creating the table (Create a table by importing data from data source), correct?
Best regards.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković

Hi Aleksandar
I used the First Option - Create a table linked to an existing data source.
in one of the columns there are hyperlinks behind the text, along with other text
eg "This cell contains a link to Amazon" (with the word Amazon being a hyperlink to http://www.amazon.com)
when I import the data I get "This cell contains a link to Amazon" and the word Amazon has no hyperlink
if I create a spreadsheet with a Links column - links only import if they are explicitly in the format http://linkname.com, not if they are a text label with a hyperlink behind it

Hello Ian.
Yeah, I see; the issue here is that this column is being recognized as a "String", which it should be, given that it contains text and only one word contains the hyperlink.
So, in order to use that link in wpDataTables, you need to create the table using the third option (Create a table by importing data from data source), and then edit the entries, but in this manner:
It's not possible to keep the hyperlink other than what you already mentioned:
if I create a spreadsheet with a Links column - links only import if they are explicitly in the format http://linkname.com, not if they are a text label with a hyperlink behind it
Best regards.
