Friendly URL in data table

Hello Fellow Powerbi'ers,

 

I have a data table with a URL column.  I'd like to make the url friendlier to read by using something like <a href="url">friendly name</a>.

 

I can't seem to get the data table to recognize the friendly version.  Did I get the syntax wrong? Anyone figure this out?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi @ThomasDay. Based on this community idea to allow short urls, I'm betting your syntax is fine. What you provided looks right, but it's not yet supported in Power BI.

Is there any solution to this issue?

I need to put a freindly text for the url (not the icon).

 

Thanks in advance.
