Add hyperlinks from Excel file?

[uranusu25193009]

Anyone knows a way to be able to automatically add InDesign hyperlinks links from a referenced Excel file?
Charts with hundreds of model numbers, each linking to their own web page, but not show the full address.

Example:  XYZ1234 would link to https://www.examplesite.com/XYZ123-blabla

I would test the MS Excel (or Data Merge) option here data merge with hyperlinks - Adobe Support Community - 12931701

or consider some way with XML Re: Creating hyperlinks from XML (noob) - Adobe Support Community - 4504877

Hi brianp311,

I don't think this -- simple -- script would work. It would require a custom -- much more complex -- solution. I did this before and posted an example of such a script here on my site.
