Assign a URL image to a Measure

[Anonymous]

Hi, I am trying to achieve the below using the URL feature. As an example, I have a column request number  and I want to construct a dynamic URL based on the value of the request number. Instead of creating a seperate column for this URL field, I would like to use the exiting request number field and some how tie the url to it and make the request number clickable so that the underlying URL opens.

This is what I am doing now :

Request Number	URL
ABC12345	www.xyz.com/sys_id=ABC12345
ABC12346	www.xyz.com/sys_id=ABC12346
ABC12347	www.xyz.com/sys_id=ABC12347
ABC12348	www.xyz.com/sys_id=ABC12348
ABC12349	www.xyz.com/sys_id=ABC12349
ABC12350	www.xyz.com/sys_id=ABC12350
ABC12351	www.xyz.com/sys_id=ABC12351
ABC12352	www.xyz.com/sys_id=ABC12352
ABC12353	www.xyz.com/sys_id=ABC12353
ABC12354	www.xyz.com/sys_id=ABC12354
ABC12355	www.xyz.com/sys_id=ABC12355
ABC12356	www.xyz.com/sys_id=ABC12356
ABC12357	www.xyz.com/sys_id=ABC12357
ABC12358	www.xyz.com/sys_id=ABC12358

And this is what I want to achieve:

Request Number

ABC12345

ABC12346

ABC12347

ABC12348

ABC12349

ABC12350

ABC12351

ABC12352

ABC12353

ABC12354

ABC12355

ABC12356

ABC12357

ABC12358

Appreciate the ideas and/or suggesstions.

Thanks,

SN

Hey,

unfortunately this is currently not supported, either you can assign the data category "web url" to a colum, no matter if this column is a base column or a calculated column or to a measure.

Currently just the url is displayed or a symbol will be displayed, the symbol can not be configured, the screenshot below shows the symbol:

If you assign the data category "image url" to a column or a measure, Power BI tries to display the image immediately.

Maybe you might consider to create an idea on:
