  • Hello there Anonymous ! You can insert a "Shape" somewhere in your report and ass an action to it like the following print:

     

    This way whenever the user presses this shape it will direct him to the new app.

    Publish an app in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

     

    Hope this answer solves your problem!

    Thank you for your quick response but I'm actually wanting to go to an application that's not Power BI.  

     

    For example, I've built a dashboard that has Account Name field.  I want my users to be able to click on this field and go to this account in another application (NOT a Power BI app), sign-in and view the account information.  Hope this makes sense.

      Same thing... In the "Web URL" box in the print I have sent you can place a URL to any website you want, whether it is within Power BI or not 🙂
