How to show URL on column headers in matrix visualization?

 

Pooja_Mishra_0-1621975084028.png

I am creating a report using Matrix Visualization and trying to put URL on Column headers (Column1, Column2, etc). 

But what I find from conditional formatting is getting URL on values, not on column headers. Can anyone suggest me how to put URL on column names so that if I hover my cursor on Column1 then it should indicate an URL and I can click on it. 

@v-luwang-msft hope you can help me on this. Thanks in advance!

Hi @Anonymous 

Unfortunately, it can't be done in Tooltip if you want the matrix indicates a hyperlink when you hover on column. But you can show it in matrix, and replace it with a hyperlink icon.

First, change property of the column to Web URL,

Then, if you want to replace it with a hyperlink icon, go to Format Tab – Column headersURL icon,

Hey @Anonymous ,

 

the headers are static and you cannot link them.

The only option you have is to put links in the values.

 

Sorry about that.

 

If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
 
Best regards
Denis
