How to base the order of web urls by value?

[jshutters]

This is a detailed ask. Overall, I want the most popular web url, within each grouping, to be shown in a table visual as the web url of a field hover. Within Conditional Formatting of a field, when we turn on web url and open Advanced Controls, I know we can base the field on a web url to be FIRST or LAST. However, I'm looking a way to base it on popularity (i.e. highest value).

To demostrate this request from my business user, I've created some ficticious data about sports, which mirrors my confidential data.

I start with a dataset like this:

Sport	Team	URL	Views
Baseball	Yankees	https://www.mlb.com/yankees	20
Baseball	Red Sox	https://www.mlb.com/redsox	30
Baseball	Braves	https://www.mlb.com/braves	10
Football	Cowboys	https://www.nfl.com/teams/dallas-cowboys/	4
Football	Patriots	https://www.nfl.com/teams/new-england-patriots/	5
Football	Steelers	https://www.nfl.com/teams/pittsburgh-steelers/	6
Tennis	Djokovic	https://www.atptour.com/en/players/novak-djokovic/d643/overview	60
Tennis	Medvedev	https://www.atptour.com/en/players/daniil-medvedev/mm58/overview	50
Tennis	Zverev	https://www.atptour.com/en/players/alexander-zverev/z355/overview	40

I want to display a table visual like this:
(Important note, on hover of the Sport column items, I want the web url...
+ for Baseball to be https://www.mlb.com/redsox because it has the most views within the Baseball group,
+ for Football to be https://www.nfl.com/teams/pittsburgh-steelers/
+ for Tennis to be https://www.atptour.com/en/players/novak-djokovic/d643/overview

Sport	Sum of Views
Baseball	60
Football	15
Tennis	150

Can you think of a creative way I can make this happen?

Hi @hnguy71,
Sorry, but your suggestion doesn't give the desired results.

Your coding yields the following (note, your hover for baseball is a url for the yankees):

The goal is to have the hover for baseball to be the url for the Red Sox, because Red Sox has a higher value for Views (Red Sox has 30, while Yankees have 20).

@jshutters ,

it should. Did you create the calculated column?

@hnguy71I thought I had followed all of your steps (btw, which were very clearly written - thank you for that).  Is there a step that I'm missing?

I wish there was an easy way to upload my .pbix file, so you could see what I see.

Hi @jshutters ,

You can create a new calculated column within your table with the following expression:

Faves = CALCULATE(MAXX(INSERT_TABLE, INSERT_TABLE[URL]), FILTER(INSERT_TABLE, INSERT_TABLE[Sport] = EARLIER(INSERT_TABLE[Sport])))

I would then create a measure for total views:

TotalViews := SUM('Table'[Views])

Inside your new table or matrix, you would have the SPORT and the measure, TotalViews. Proceed to the conditional formatting option on the filter pane and select Sport and turn on Web URL:

And select these settings:

After you have applied, the result should look similar to this:
