    HI sdhn ,

     

    If I understand your query correctly, one the user clicks the button a web page opens in the browser something like below: 

    You don't want user to see the url link in the browser as highlighted below. Right?

     

     

    If that's the case, I don't think you can drive this visibility from Power BI as it is an external website.

    Power BI just gives the user a capability to open a webpage in browser. It doesn't control the URL shown in the bowser.

     

    Thanks,

    Pragati

Hello,

Instead of showing a link, you can go under the Format pane (the rolling paintbrush under Visualizations) and under 'Values" there is an option to turn on URL icon. That way, a small icon button will be diaplyed instead of your URL.

I hope this helps, if so, please accept this as a solution.
