 * I read a few older questions about this, and the Excel Import function did not
   yet support the “=HYPERLINK(CELL1,CELL2) function. Has it been updated?
 * Otherwise, would a TEXT field, either in XLS or CSV with the following standard
   HTML cell data, be viewed as a Hyperlink in the TablePress import?
 * [Go To Site](https://www.example.com/coolstuff)
 * Otherwise, what type of field data does TablePress require to be viewable as 
   a Hyperlink during the import process? I want to process larger tables without
   the need for tedious manual intervention.
 * Thanks.

 * Sorry, the TEXT link I was trying to display was auto-formated as a link b the
   forums, but it’s standard “a href” HTML and I’ve tried again to delete a few 
   characters to get it slide by.

   hope this helps. Use CSV as Excel files are buggy.

 * Thanks for the link, but I think I’ll have to stick with the “To add links to
   table cells, you’ll in general need to manually enter the HTML code for a link(
   something like [My Link](http://www.example.com)) into a cell” option, as I need
   to have control over the “anchor text” for both readability and keeping the column
   thin.
 * I am assuming there is no way to control the Anchor Text through the URL Conversion
   extension, and that a link like:
 * “www.example.com/text_articles/webinars/2017/may/lifestyle/gardens/234850_best_way_to_pick_weeds.
   html”
 * would be translated into this:
 * [http://www.example.com/text_articles/webinars/2017/may/lifestyle/gardens/234850_best_way_to_pick_weeds.html](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-tablepress-support-excel-hyperlinks-yet/www.example.com/text_articles/webinars/2017/may/lifestyle/gardens/234850_best_way_to_pick_weeds.html?output_format=md)

 * Hi,
 * sorry for the long delay, I was on holidays and could not reply earlier.
 * TablePress does not support Excel formulas like that. It is however possible 
   to have the actual HTML code for a link in a TEXT cell.
 * The Automatic URL conversion Extension can indeed not control the link text, 
   sorry.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
