Hi Team,

I was tryin to use native JS function link in order to hyperlink inside a mapper. I found that it doesnโ€™t work, does anyone know a similar functionality or a workaround?

Basically, I was trying to hyperlink an existing column โ€œIDโ€ and wanted to output this in an excel file. Snaps below for reference:

Thank you @Lydia and @bojanvelevski for your help on this one. As I can only mark a single comment as a solution, I wouldnโ€™t do justice to one of you but without both of you, this thread wouldnโ€™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 โ€œEnterโ€ 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)

Iโ€™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. Doesnโ€™t mean that I donโ€™t appreciate your efforts and wanted to offend either of you.

If itโ€™s meant to go on Excel you could direcly write down the formula instead ?
โ€œ=HYPERLINK(โ€˜https://www.google.comโ€™,'โ€+ $ID +โ€œ')โ€

@Lydia: Iโ€™m testing the string youโ€™ve provided and havenโ€™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 havenโ€™t been able to achieve the results.

You are missing quotes/double quotes around your formula. Itโ€™s not a snaplogic formula itโ€™s an excel so you need to treat it as if it was text.
Also i forgot some quotes in my first answer ๐Ÿ˜
