Hyperlink Image instead of URL

Friends

 

I have a table like so in Power BI:

Its formatted as a web url :

Is there an option where I can just have a little image of a link rather than the full url which is taking up vital space in PBI Service as its a bit of a lengthy  URL.

 

Comments welcome

Change it to "web URL" category and try again. It needs to be categorized for Power BI to fully recognize that it's a URL.

URL 1.jpg

 

The Visulisation - Ive tried this on and off but no matter what - I get the full URL.

Change it to "web URL" category and try again. It needs to be categorized for Power BI to fully recognize that it's a URL.

Did you toggle the icon on in the URL icon settings? I don't see that part in your screenshots. Also make sure that the data category is set in the column categorization setting.
