Web URL displaying icon

Web URL displaying icon

 

Hi there,

 

I have a measure on SSAS that is calculating the URL depending on selected values on my Power BI report filters. THe measure is set to Web URL but in Power BI, despite of selecting URL icom I cannot visualize the icon so I see the entire URL that is of course not pretty at all.

 

Thanks

Hi @maserr ,

Did you mean change the data category into Web URL like this?

But I'm not certain what does 'I cannot visualize the icon so I see the entire URL that is of course not pretty at all.' mean. Could you please share more details or expected output in ths case for further discussion?

 

Best Regards,

Dear Yingjie,

 

The fact is that is a measure in a calculated table so I do not have the option of selecting Web URL.

I have another case with an URL which is a column on a calculated table so I have been able to chose the Data Category.

 

What I have now is this:

Hi @maserr ,

Hi @maserr ,

In a tabular table with SSAS, the measure format may not include 'Web/URL' type. 

For url icon in displaying in power bi desktop, you can refer:

I may be missing something here. You set the Data Category to Web Url, what do you mean by "selecting URL icon"?
