Export to CSV or Excel has hyperlinks when column has multiple values

 

Cause

Product defect/enhancement

Hyperlinks are created when using Export To option on a column that has multiple values and csv files translates them to http://xxx.yyy

Resolution

This is somewhere between a product defect and enhancement as it is sort of expected behaviour on how sharepoint treats them but the desired result is were if feels like a defect.

There is a workaround to suggest to the customer and that is to turn on the field option "Do Not Render as Hyperlink". That way the export won't include the hyperlinks.
