Remove hyperlink when opening Excel with hyperlinked cells

I am opening (code below) an excel spreadsheet which has got hyperlinked entries in a particular column. Hyperlinks for each entry point to another excel spreadsheet. JMP 16.2 is loading these entries with a blue underline and this is causing me issues in data manipulations downstream. 

I want to load the data for this column as Charecter/Norminal. How to achieve this?

Thanks.

My guess is that you have a file like this:

There might be other easier options, but here is one option to modifying the data.

You can see that column data type is expression and that it has column property.

Open column properties

Remove the column property Event Handler and change the data type to Character and modeling type to nominal

After this you might have to perform some data modification as your data might look something like this:

@jthi  Thanks. I had already tried what you are suggesting. It did not help. Please see below. 

This is my spreadsheet (only one row show in the example). Column A has entries which are hyperlinked to a file with name identical to the row entry. 

Loading this into JMP gives

Changing the data and modelling type on the column gives me 

with the row entry as {"ABC99.0001.01"("ABC99.0001.01.xlsx")}.

Whereas I want only ABC99.0001.01. Nothing extra. How to achieve this?

 

Re: Remove hyperlink when opening Excel with hyperlinked cells

Depending on your data use some method to get the values from that column. For example Word or Regex

Word(2, str, "\!"");
Regex(str, "\[\{\"(.+)"\(]\", "\1");

Recode platform also offers Extract Segment which might work.

I have the opposite issue: I have an excel file with hyperlinks.

When I import the file in Jmp, I just see the text - the hyperlinks are gone.

 

 

Re: Remove hyperlink when opening Excel with hyperlinked cells

Are they hyperlinks built using HYPERLINK function in excel?

Most likely JMP cannot manage that and you would have to either parse the xlsx file yourself, open as zip and you can see it's structure, this can be a lot of work to parse, but maybe you could just parse some parts of it?

or have some sort of a script (powershell/vbscript) to first extract those links and then load that to JMP.
