Excel Tricks: Creating Markdown Links from Multiple Columns Using Power Query on a Mac
This video was made in response to a real-life question. It covers how to create Markdown hyperlinks by combining the contents of two columns in Excel. I used Power Query in Excel on the Mac to do this. The process included extracting dates from a text string, converting them to DD-MMMM format, extracting text between two parentheses and combining the resulting columns with specific text characters to generate the Markdown hyperlinks

The formula that I used in the demos:
