Short URL with display text

You can do this! A few months back we shipped the ability to format a column in a table as a hyperlink that gets its URL from a different measure or column: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/power-bi-hyperlinks-in-tables Thanks for your votes!

Additionally, the ability to create a dynamic "hyperlink" formula like excel has with display text in one field and the actual hyperlink in another

We have successfully made reports on msit.powerbi.com with live urls (in table visualization type) that link to VSO work items. .but we want to make the work item title or ID number clickable rather than needing to expose the whole URL in a table column.

Great idea!

It takes up a lot of space to put the entire URL column in a report. Having a way to shorten would really help

This is a show stopper, must have. Within table objects we need to be able to leverage a URL value, and URL hyperlink attributes. Similar to how links were added to PowerBI text boxes.

At the time being, matrices are a bit on the static side. Yes, you can filter and dive on other visual objects - but once the matrix shows the details - it is not very useful. Having the 'Web URL' was a great improvement in this sense - and I would think that adding an attribute for the display name - or a referenced display name column (like 'sort by' on numbers/alphabetical sorting) - should be fairly simple. This request is both old and (in my view) simple. Please fix.

This seems to be very similar to https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi/suggestions/10876392-allow-url-from-one-column-to-be-specified-as-hyper, and https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi/suggestions/9027349-improvements-for-url-show-text-that-is-different. My suggestion would be to add a new HYPERLINK function (see Excel's) that could be used when adding a New Column.

Having to add a separate column and define it as a URL for something else takes up needed space although the column can be shrunk to take up little space. Would like to be able to just display a column with a name or whatever and have it be clickable and fire off a URL from another column or something.

Yes Please...we're using Power BI to display CRM data. It be nice to have the values on the report linked directly back to the CRM record.
