Hello,
My excel data has a column of texts with hyperlinks to websites as shown in below screenshot. When I load this data to power BI and visualize the data in a table on dashboard, I'm no longer able to use the links as shown on the second screenshot.
How could I activate the link in dashboard so that I can also access the link directly from the dashbaord?
Thank you!

Hello @eny ,
In excel paste the complete url instead of a hyperlink.
Then in Power BI after dragging that column in to the table visual change it to a web url in cell elements or changes its datatype in Power Query Editor as per your convinience.
Then you will get it as a link to click and use in Power BI Destop.
