Hi Team,
I was tryin to use native JS function link
in order to hyperlink inside a mapper. I found that it doesn’t work, does anyone know a similar functionality or a workaround?
Basically, I was trying to hyperlink an existing column “ID” and wanted to output this in an excel file. Snaps below for reference:
Thanking in advance for your help 🙂

DT

Thank you @Lydia and @bojanvelevski for your help on this one. As I can only mark a single comment as a solution, I wouldn’t do justice to one of you but without both of you, this thread wouldn’t have been concluded.
Thank you @Lydia for providing the formula for hyperlink "=HYPERLINK(\"https://www.google.com\",\""+$ID+"\")"
and letting me know that a manual intervention in excel would be needed to just go over that cell and click “Enter” for the formula to work.
Thank you @bojanvelevski for sharing the workaround of using a CSV Formatter
instead of an Excel Formatter
, that solution really helped although it does have a manual intervention but lesser than the one stated above (by going into each cells and activating the formulas)
I’m marking this as a solution intentionally so that I can give credits to both of you and anyone referring to this thread can get best of both the worlds in a single comment.
Thank you!
Signing off from this thread as workaround will do the trick for now.
Best Regards,
DT
P.S. Doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate your efforts and wanted to offend either of you.

If it’s meant to go on Excel you could direcly write down the formula instead ?
“=HYPERLINK(‘https://www.google.com’,'”+ $ID +“')”

@Lydia: I’m testing the string you’ve provided and haven’t found any luck yet.
Have you tried the same string on your end?
I also tried to tweak it as I was getting errors but haven’t been able to achieve the results.

You are missing quotes/double quotes around your formula. It’s not a snaplogic formula it’s an excel so you need to treat it as if it was text.
Also i forgot some quotes in my first answer 😅
