Hi @HenryJS ,

You are creating a Measure instead of a Calculated column, please modify the DAX to

FORMAT(SELECTEDVALUE('table name'[column name]))

Or please right-click on the table or any column of the table and select new column to create a Calculated Column.

For more details about Measure and Calculated Column, please refer to the video below.

Hi,

The calculated column now works and creates the desired hyperlink.

How do I create a button and link to the hyperlink as per image 2? At the moment it is just displaying image 1.
