While the blue color and underline of hyperlinks makes them very. Excel: Remove all Mailto hyperlinks for email addresses at once.
In this short article, I'll show you how you can quickly remove all unwanted hyperlinks from an Excel worksheet at once and prevent their occurrence in the future. The solution works in all Excel versions starting from Excel 2003 through modern Excel 2013 and Excel 2016.
Every time you type an e-mail address or URL in a cell, Excel automatically converts it into a clickable hyperlink. From my experience, this behavior is annoying rather than helpful :-( So after typing a new email to my table or editing a URL and pressing Enter, I usually press Ctrl+Z to remove the hyperlink that Excel automatically created…
First I'll show how you can delete all accidently created unnecessary hyperlinks, and then how you can configure your Excel to turn off the Auto-Hyperlinking feature.
Remove multiple hyperlinks in all Excel versions
In Excel 2000-2007, there is no built-in function to delete multiple hyperlinks at a time, only one by one. Here is a simple trick that lets you overcome this limitation, of course, the trick works in Excel 2010 and 2013 too.
Select any empty cell outside your table.
Type 1 to this cell.
Copy this cell (Ctrl+C).
Select your columns with Hyperlinks: click on any cell with data in the 1st column and press Ctrl+Space to select the whole column:
If you want to select more than 1 column at a time: after selecting the 1s column, hold Ctrl, click on any cell in the 2nd column and press Space to select all cells in the 2nd column without losing selection in 1st column.
Right-click on any selected cells and select 'Paste Special' from the context menu:
In the 'Paste Special' dialog box, select the 'Multiply' radio button in the 'Operation' section:
Click Ok. All hyperlinks are removed :-)

Select the entire column with Hyperlinks: click on any cell with data and press Ctrl+Space.
Right-click on any selected cell and select 'Remove hyperlinks' from the context menu.
Note: If you select a single cell, then this menu item changes to 'Remove hyperlink', a nice example of usability :-(
All hyperlinks are removed from the column :-)
Disable automatic creation of hyperlinks in Excel
In Excel 2007, click the Office button ->Excel Options. In Excel 2010 and 2013, navigate to the File Tab ->Options.
In the 'Excel Options' dialog box, switch to the 'Proofing' tab in the left column and click the 'AutoCorrect Options' button:
In the 'AutoCorrect Options' dialog box, switch to the 'AutoFormat As You Type' tab and uncheck the 'Internet and network paths with hyperlinks' checkbox.
Click OK twice to close both dialogs and return to your Excel worksheet.
Now, type any URL or email to any cell - Excel retains the plain text format :-) When you really need to create a hyperlink, simply press Ctrl+K to open the 'Insert Hyperlink' dialog box.

I know that this is a little strange as well.. not sure if this will be acceptable for you or not. Try this:
This pretty much acts like there is no hyperlink. The only difference is that your cursor changes to a hand instead of the default plus sign, but you can still click it like any other cells.

I couldn't figure out how to prevent the formatting from getting zapped. The workaround I came up with was to copy the cell before removing the hyperlink and then pasting the format back to the cell after I deleted the hyperlink:
Show me a better way of doing this and I'll accept your response as the answer.

With other words: You reapply the style that should be there. Whereas 'Normal' can be changed in the name of either cellstyle present in Excell. If you want your own style to be applied with this way, add it to the cellstyles list.
If you want to go a step further. You can take the cellstyle already there, catch it in a string and reapply.

This also helps when you don't want to copy paste information to/from another location. Have't tried this on merged cells, but I guess this should work.

You can also apply the hyperlink to a shape that is transparent and overlays the cell in which you desire a hyperlink.
The drawback here is that the cursor changes with a mouseover when not linked. And the shape can be moved by the end user and deleted as well.
