Power BI Desktop Conditional Formatting - Web URL using SSAS Tabular Cube Live Connection

Hi,

 

I am using Power BI Desktop version 2.80.5803.1061 (April 2020) and have a live connection to a SSAS Tabular Cube. I'm trying to use conditional formatting on a Column in a table as a web URL. I have set the URL field to Data Category = 'Uncategorized'.  I am however unable to select the field or any other field for that matter. Are there limitations to conditional formatting web URLs when connected Live? Am I missing a step?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

      This doesn't work if you connect your Power BI report to a model from SSAS, because you can't calculate first/last etc. I don't know any workaround for this yet.

        Thanks! I'm still on the lookout as well. I guess for the time being I can change it back to a web URL and use a URL icon.

      Thanks! I had actually initially tried this method but still couldn't get it to work. See comment below, looks like we're having trouble getting this to work with Live Connection to SSAS.
