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! Go to Solution.
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.

@Anonymous , can you please add me the some Power Query Editor Steps you have done near the calculated column(URL) you created?

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