Make Power BI recognize callto: function as a hyperlink
Dear Robert Qin,
thank you for the answer. I know that callto so far is not recgonized as a hyperlink for PowerBI. However, this makes no sense for me if I want to integrate a callfunction within a power BI report. I know that users can comment through Teams on PowerBI reports and share them, but this is not what I am trying to do.
I want people to be able to open a Teams call through PowerBI.
Why is the mailto function supported by PowerBI and callto is not? Would this not be very easy to simply update and add to the list of recognized PowerBI hyperlinks.
All the best
Nico
Ditto. Enabling features like this makes power bi more than just a reporting tool. The example I have is that a cross-sell report I've created for our customer base. Each BDM has access to the report and can see a list of their accounts and the potential cross-sell opportunity for other product. I created a drill-through page so the reps can see the contacts for a customers account and I wanted them to be able to click to call on the drill-through page, but they can't. Instead I have opted to link the customer record in the CRM so they can click to call through there. Not the greatest outcome as they need to go into a separate webpage to initiate the contact.
