URL icon not appearing in table
Hi
I have created a custom column in the query editor to build a URL. Loading the data into the report view and creating a new table, dropping the URL column in > paintbrush > values > 'URL Icon' = On > the URL column does not change to the icon.
As I have had success in the past with this, I have ensured the data category is 'Web URL' and the data type is 'Text', but these checks have not given me success this time.
Are there any other further checks / data formatting I should be doing?
Thanks

solved - i checked the code in the custom volumn and there was a space at the start of the URL 😅
Thanks!

Hi Alex, I think you forgot the following consideration.
Please make sure you have prefixed the URL with the above. Then changing the URL icon will work.

Hi Anonymous
All the URLs start with HTTPs, see all my checks:

HI Anonymous ,

Try closing the file and re-opening it 🙂
Else can you share the sample pbix. Remove the sensitive data.
