Blank Button to configure for Dynamic "mailto:" URL

Hi Experts 

 

Looking for some leads to use the Email option using Blank Button in PBI Desktop.The expectation is to use the Button Text as conditional Formatting  ( SELECTEDVALUES) to return 1 Email ( e.g. abc@abc.com) based on filter selctiothe n and User can CLIK on the button to Sent EMAIL to using "mailto:abc@abc.com").

 

I Tried By far defining 2 Measures 1. for Dynamic Text to return abc@abc.com and 2 . button to use action "Web URL" -> conditional formating to return "mailto:abc@abc.com") but I noticed clik option is not working. however while instead of mailto: if I use any other URL Button function works as normal .

 

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

I do have the same issue... 

After more than 1 year (almost 2 years) did you get any solution ?
I am able to create a text with a "mailto: " link but the string cannot be dynamic.

Thanks

@rakikumarpatra ,Based on what I got

I think it checks for http in the Url, in case you have marked it as url field, that is why it do work in other cases
