Sharepoint 2010 how to export item URL to Excel?

Question

I have a list of 8 items in SharePoint 2010 and I export them to Excel. How can I export item's URL so that when clicking the link on Excel spreadsheet, it can bring me back to the item in SharePoint?

Answer 1

You can't do it directly , but you can do the following workaround

• At your list View , Make sure that it contains the ID of the item.

• After you export your list from the ribbon .
• Open excel sheet > and at any column beside your row.
• Add this formula.

 =HYPERLINK("https://yourrootsite/Lists/List/DispForm.aspx?ID="&A2,Table_owssvr__2[Title])

• the output should be like Direct Linkable link with a meanning name that is the title of item

• Drag your column down to apply it to all rows Via +

Answer 2

You can add a new calculated field to the list and use formula

=CONCATENATE("http://siteurl/lists/listname/forms/displayform.aspx?ID=", Id)

Change siteurl and listname

Now going forward you can simply export the list and no need to update excel file each time.
