Hyperlink an folder in my system.
Hi,
I need to create an hyperlink in powerbi. I have attached an screenshot of the excel file. The Invoice column contains pdf (hyperlink) which is stored in the system.
I need to hyperlink to that folder in my system. Is it possible in powerbi ?
Please guide me how to set the hyperlink in Powerbi.
Hi siva3012
If you want to use file URLs, there are some limitations. They will not open in the Power BI Desktop, only in web browsers. For most browsers, you will need to right click on the link, copy the link address, and paste the URL in a new tab.
