Make Web URL button disappear if value is blank

[crobinson661]

I have a page with various URL buttons and the backend data is only populated where there is a URL to navigate to, otherwise it's blank. There is a table on the page that populates various info about a record into a multirow card when clicked, and I want to make the button not visible if the data for that item's URL is blank and clickable if it is not blank. 

I'm using a custom Icon for the button. 

I wasnt sure if I should just remove the icon if the button is disabled? But I wasn't sure if no data makes a web URL button "disabled" in Power BI. 

Thanks for any help!

Hi @crobinson661 
There is no option to make something "disabled" but you can use conditional formatting to make the button invisible / give it some text like " note the link is unavailable".

For the first option, you can use flag measure like :

test button = if(max('Table'[link])="",1,0)

and then modify the color of the text / other elements of a button based on this measure :

+ the same on the border if you have one

the result :

Message option:

create a measure like :

test with message = if(max('Table'[link])="", "Note the link is unvailible", "Press to the link")

using conditional formatting "take it " to the button

and using color conditional formatting to make it red 

result

PBIX is attached
