Hello Tebogo,
try it with a code activity. Here an example in C# how to delete all hyperlinks in an Excel file.

//-Begin-------------------------------------------------------------

//css_reference Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll

using System;

public class Test {

  public static void Main() {

    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application excel = 
      new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
    excel.Visible = true;
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook workbook = 
      excel.Workbooks.Open("E:\\Dummy\\Excel\\WithHyperlinks.xlsx");

    for(int i = 1; workbook.Worksheets.Count >= i; i++) {
      Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet worksheet = 
        (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet)workbook.Worksheets.get_Item(i);
      worksheet.Hyperlinks.Delete();
    }

    workbook.SaveAs("E:\\Dummy\\Excel\\WithoutHyperlinks.xlsx");
    excel.Quit();

  }

}

//-End---------------------------------------------------------------

Good Day @StefanSchnell,

Firstly happy new year and keeping safe.
Inside the code activity I keep getting errors on:

  • The class Test, reason been (expected semi-colon )
  • on the main function void, reason been ( expected semi-colon)
  • workbook.Worksheets.Count >= i, reason been (Only assignment, call,increment,decrement, and new object expressions can be used as statement).
    Any reason why these errors are appearing?

Regards,
Tebogo

Hello Tebogo,
my approach is a mock to show how you can realize your requirement. Use only the code from inside the Main routine and add the Excel Interop namespace to your project.

Below is the code I have in the invoke code activity:
/* Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet worksheet =
(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet)workbook.Worksheets.get_Item(1);
worksheet.Name=“BOT”;*/
