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

Solved! Go to Solution.
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.
Thanks @christinepayton That was the key bit of information. All my issues are now solved.
The Columns is formatted as so:
Fig 1
Fig 2
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.
Well this is mindblowing that I cannnot get an ICON to display.
Table View:
Cell Elements:
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.
Yep, it's a toggle in the visual settings: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/power-bi-hyperlinks-in-tables?tabs=powerbi...
