    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

HI sdhn ,

 

Can you add some screenshots as details here please?

It's hard to understand your question.

 

Thanks,

Hi Pragati

 

I meant,

 

here is an example: ( use fake site)

 

There is a Button , if user click on button it will take user www.oracle.com/linux/dnnote   (external site)

 

I want when user click on Button , it will take to the external web site but without displaying URL.

May be just "dnnote "

 

Everything under the site is beneficial for us but we do not want to show the website address.

 

Thanks
