Post PatronHow to create a button as a hyperlink for sending an email
A workaround:
You can add a textbox with an asterix, turn the asterix into windings font then turn that into a hyperlink where you can use mailto:

Ritesh_AirThanks. It works. Only question I have is: Can we populate the "Subject line" of an email?

Hi - I guess Power Bi has its restrictions, it would be good if there was a HTML option so we could add extra functionality using code, HTML is a good example where if MS added this into Power BI more people would take up the product.
Another pet peeve of mine right now is getting all Months to show in a Trend line (graph line visual) - plenty of options for avg or var lines, but when using a trend line our options are limited...

I figured it out. You need to put ? and then subject. It needs to be like this:
mailto:[email protected]?subject=What ever you want to put
Thanks,

i have done this and it worked very well for me and several users. however, some users reported that instead of opening their outlook email - it opened their email in webbrowser instead of their desktop and others reported just getting a webpage - but not actual email.
Do you know if any settings need to be in place on a users computer so that this type of hyperlink works for them?- kymramosrpo
