Can't add hyperlink to text field for workbook published to server
I have a text field that I want to make a hyperlink using a URL from another field. Seems to work fine in a local desktop workbook but Power BI won't let me select a field to use as a hyperlink in a report published to the Power BI Server.
Following these directions,
we've made sure that
- Data is in a Table
- we are using a version later that Feb 2020 (Sept 2021 to be exact)
- the URL column is "Uncategorized" in Data Catagory.
But still nothing. Is this another one of those things that can't be done with Direct Query or a report publised to the server or something? Doesn't seem like it should be. I get to where you add the Web URL and is just won't let me select the field with the URL in it.

Hi Anonymous ,
I test with Power BI Desktop Optimized for Power BI Report Server - September 2021), which version is 2.97.2222.0 64-bit. It works well when connecting to SQL database via DirectQuery.
I also test with a Excel file on Report Server. It works well. Could you share more screenshoots without any sensitive information to help us understand your issue?
Best Regards,
