Web URL data category not available in Live Connection

I am using a live connection to a Tabular in Analysis Services I've created dynamic addresses (DAX measure) and want to use the new conditional formatting functionality for buttons.

Unfortunately, when connecting live modeling-> Data category-> WEB URL is unavailable and I can't change this measure to Web URL type. and this basically excludes the use of dynamic url addresses for live conneciton. does anyone have any idea how to work around this? I can't change the data type directly in tabular, because it is a measure based on filters (it is not a column in tabular)

HI @Alack,

I test with AS tabular with live mode and I can reproduce this. I think it means web URL category not available on live mode tabular data source.
Maybe you can add these fields on your database side or submit an idea to add support to use measure formula with the web URL category in live mode. (notice: import mode measure can setting web URL category)

Regards,

Xiaoxin Sheng
