Removing Hyperlinks during Excel Workflow | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hello,
I am trying to work out how to remove hyperlinks when data gets exported to an excel spreadsheet through a workflow to no avail. The question has answers that are hyperlinked to a website to provide more information and the workflow is set to yield ${q://QID31/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}. When the workflow runs, it provides me with the following:
Title
How can I get the "href" and "target" removed so that it just gives me the "Title" in the spreadsheet?
Thank you so much for your consideration!

It will give you the hardcoded value.
Hope it helps!


Hi Deepak,
It is just one question, but the question allow for multiple answers and there are quite a few. Is embedding the data and piping in the Excel output still the best option here?
Thank you!

Hope it helps!
