    Hi rumittal ,

     

    We can use a Shape With action and put a text box above it as a workaround.

     

    Text box is used to show the information you want.

     


    BTW, pbix as attached.

Anonymous, Actually what I want is out of these IT tickets, user would select one and I would like to have a single text box/card type of visual where I can show text like "Go to ZenDesk" . 

Clicking on it should lead me to the corresponding URL.

    the example PBIX file link did not work.  Can you make that available again please?

    I have a question here. I am exporting the report in .pdf format. After exporting report as a .pdf format the URL is not clickable or getting no reponse after clicking it.

    Ex.,   I have a text Name ---    SFP.R.M.11.1  (  I am appyin a URL to this text word regarding a info SFP.R.M.11.1  )

    Let's say I have a slicer & I am changing Slicer from SFP.R.M.11.1  to SFP.R.M.11.2 

    I want to change the text from SFP.R.M.11.1  SFP.R.M.11.2 & URL to that SFP.R.M.11.2 path.

     

    After exporting to .pdf format. It should be a clickably active & need response.
