Extracting Hyperlinks From Excel (.xlsx) with Python

Question

I have been looking at mostly the xlrd and openpyxl libraries for Excel file manipulation. However, xlrd currently does not support formatting_info=True for .xl

Answer 1

Starting from at least version openpyxl-2.4.0b1 this bug https://bitbucket.org/openpyxl/openpyxl/issue/152/hyperlink-returns-empty-string-instead-of was fixed. Now it's return for cell Hyperlink object:

hl_obj = ws.row(col).hyperlink  # getting Hyperlink object for Cell
#hl_obj = ws.cell(row = r, column = c).hyperlink This could be used as well.
if hl_obj:
    print(hl_obj.display)
    print(hl_obj.target)
    print(hl_obj.tooltip) # you can see it when hovering mouse on hyperlink in Excel
    print(hl_obj) # to see other stuff if you need
