Open PDF from network location with Masking
Hello,
Is there a way to open a PDF from within PBI from a newtwork directory based on a value similiar to calling a web URL?
If yes, is it also possible to "Mask" the URL with the database value?
For example, I would like to link the "InvoiceNum" to the "directory" listed below. When I click on "XX0012345", the expectation is that it would open the file located at "File:///\\testloc\XX0012345.pdf"

Hi, This seems to work in general, but I am unable to open the file. Is there a certain way I need to configure this becuase I am using a UNC path? I have it sent to Web URL and the following syntax:
File = "file://UNC/test.pdf"When clicking on the file icon nothing happens.
