HI Gulam_Azeem It is not possible to directly use UNC paths (e.g., \\server\folder) as clickable hyperlinks in Power BI. You can map the shared folder to a network drive (e.g., Z:) or use a DAX measure like FileLink = "file://" & [UNCPath] and format it as a Web URL. If these options don’t work, display the path as plain text for manual copy-paste. Direct UNC path support is restricted due to Power BI’s security constraints.
