I don't have a better way, but something that you might want to test.

Find a sacrificial cell.
copy the hyperlink cell to that cell
remove the hyperlink
copy|paste special|formats back

Clean up that sacrificial cell later.

(still a giant loop though.)

Or untested...
Insert a new worksheet
select all of the existing worksheet
copy
paste special|formats (to the new worksheet)
remove the links (all at once)

copy and paste|special back.

That might actually work.

(I didn't try it though. No sense both of us being disappointed!)

I have javascript function that copies a table from a webpage to an
Excel worksheet. This is supposed to be a multi-purpose function that
works on various different tables, and sometimes the tables have
hyperlinks in them.

I have my script doing Hyperlinks.Delete(), and that strips all the
hyperlinks out of the sheet quite well. The problem is that when the
hyperlinks are removed, any formatting that existed in those cells is
removed as well. Borders, colors, font info, wrapping, number
formatting: all gone.

I tried doing this:

if (objExcelApp.Selection.Hyperlinks.Count 0){
for (i = objExcelApp.Selection.Hyperlinks.Count; i 0; i--){
LinkCell = objExcelApp.Selection.Hyperlinks(i).Parent;
NumFmt = LinkCell.NumberFormat;
IsBold = LinkCell.Font.Bold;
IsItalic = LinkCell.Font.Italic;
IsWrap = LinkCell.WrapText;
hAlign = LinkCell.HorizontalAlignment;
vAlign = LinkCell.VerticalAlignment;

LinkCell.Hyperlinks.Delete();

LinkCell.NumberFormat = NumFmt;
LinkCell.Font.Bold = IsBold;
LinkCell.Font.Italic = IsItalic;
LinkCell.WrapText = IsWrap;
LinkCell.HorizontalAlignment = hAlign;
LinkCell.VerticalAlignment = vAlign;
}
}

And it works. It doesn't do the borders, because I haven't done that
yet, but the basic concept works.

And it takes forever and a day.

So I was hoping that someone might know some arcane method of removing
hyperlinks *without* killing the formatting in the process.

Thanks,
Lisa
