Hi,
thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
The problem here is that the internal formats in Excel and TablePress (which is HTML) differ, and that the current experimental Excel import does not yet support importing links.
Your best chance might therefore be to save the table as HTML and then try to import that.
Other ideas are:
– If your links are just URLs (i.e. the URL is also the link text), you could use the TablePress Extension from http://tablepress.org/extensions/automatic-url-conversion/
– Or, if you have some real link text, you might try to use an Excel macro to automatically create the HTML code, see http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/hyperlinks-in-cells?replies=6#post-4710730
If that does not help, you’ll have to re-create the links in TablePress. Sorry 🙁

Tobias
For anyone else coming to this page through Google…
Instead of using the Excel hyperlink feature, simply insert the HTML code for the link into the cell by hand.
(or donate appropriately to Tobias to implement the feature!)
Hi,
yes, simply typing the HTML code for a link into the cell in Excel will of course also work! 🙂
Best wishes,
Tobias
Just use the macro, there is no way for Tobias to implement the feature. Although you should donate anyway!
Hi,
yes, the macro is the easiest for now, but I’m trying to make the Excel import better and maybe I can find a way to directly import links in the future 🙂
Regards,
Tobias
