Hi there,

I have a column in my table that is being used to link off to other pages. I want to filter by this column but anything that is hyperlinked doesn’t seem to appear when I search for it.

Is there a way to filter hyperlinked text at all?

Thanks

Hi there @Matt_Hui and Welcome to the Community 🎉 !

You can filter by hyperlink but not directly I think 😊 .

I think you could just add a `Text` field to your table, convert your hyperlink into text with something like :

```auto
thisRow.Pages.ToText()

```

And use that `Text` field in your filter instead of the page field. (See the `[View of Table 3]` in my very humble sample)

Or do the conversion directly in the Filter formula 😊 .

Another option, could be to use an interactive filter maybe (Which I did for the `[Table 3]`) …
