Getting link from company app server to display

I'm trying to display a link through powerbi thats hosted on our app server. However when I try to view it on powerbi online it's just a blank screen. Is there anything I might be missing that would enable it to function normally?

 

I'm using the visual "HTMLVIEWER" from the marketplace. 

 

This is the column that contains the URL.

HTML = "<iframe src=" & Websites[URL] & " style='position: fixed; width: 100%; height: 100%'></iframe>"
 
This is the altered address for security.

Hi @GunnerJ ,

It shown blank?  There was not any error message?  Please check if your website worked fine and use the following website to have a try.

Hi,

Some have asked questions regarding the possibility to use the HTMLViewer to display
either iframe content, as well as being able to trigger some JavaScript function.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid that "static" markups is mainly all you're going to get through the HTMLViewer visual at this stage.

We have to remember that the whole process DOES NOT run inside a web page here, but inside a Power BI custom visuals that sits in a Power BI report... So some functionality options may be lost along the way... 
Still if anyone has managed to run either some iframe content or any JavaScript code through the HTMLViewer,
then I would be very curious [and probably impressed...] seeing a real working POC in action.
