Hyperlink

When I run a report from Salesforce to Power BI, it converts the Hyperlink to text, how do I convert the text back to a Hyperlink? From the report, I have changed the Data Category from text to URL but that doesn't do anything. Your help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Bwidener,

As far as showimg values as hyperlinks in the report, you need to have 2 things in place

 

1. Convert the Data category of that column to Web URL.

2. The Column should have a http/ https extension associated with it. As per my understanding, the Urls are not considered as Hyperlinks if they are not associated with http or https.

 

For reference, take a look at this

Hope this is what you are looking for...
