Excel hyperlinks opened in Excel online in stead of Excel local version

I use Office365, local installation on my laptop.
I have Onedrive hyperlinks in an Excel-sheet.
Before, when I clicked on the hyperlink, the file was openend by my locally installed Excel version.
Now suddenly this doesn't work anymore, when I click the hyperlink it is openend by Excel online...???

Has MS changed something or am I missing a certain option??

thanks in advance,
Peter

Example of one of my hyperlinks :

https://company-my.sharepoint.com/personal/pdg_company_be/Documents/company/Customers/invoices/2018/18_0125425.xlsx

That looks like a SharePoint link rather than OneDrive.

You can change the settings for a sharepoint library so that files from it open in the host program rather than online. I don't have a library to hand to run through the steps but I recall it is in Library Settings > Advanced Settings

I agree with Ron Henson, your link appears to be SharePoint. Try the following:
Disable Office Online (Browser Mode) for a Document Library
Go to the library where you want to change the browser behavior. Click on Gear Icon > Library Settings.
Choose Advanced Settings.
Under Opening Documents in the Browser, choose Open in the client application button. Click OK.

MLV CM,
I already disabled office online for the document library....does not solve the issue.
