Hi @SDdong ,

 

As far as I know, this is due to the design of Power BI. 

You can submit an idea for it at Home (microsoft.com) and wait for users with the same needs as you to vote for you to help make it happen as soon as possible.

 

You can use the following method instead:

1.Please create custom coumn and use this code , and enjoy

if [HMTLField] = null then null else   Html.Table([HMTLField] , {{"text",":root"}})

2.Please use a custom visual object. HTML Content (microsoft.com)
