WebURL does not work if cell is blank

[Anonymous]

I have a key column and associated keyURL column in the table. I have configured the table with conditional formatting for key column such that the keyURL link is used as a hyperlink. I have also set Totals=On and summarized the Time Spent column. 

As you can see in the table visual, when time spent is null I no longer have URL visible for the key, Looks like a bug in Power BI.

Still getting this bug

This bug is still around as of the October 2021 release.

As long as the row has at least one measure that returns a result the link will work. If none of the measures in the row return a result then the link does not appear. Since sometimes adding a zero to a measure brings back data you don't want, an alternative is to use a measure to generate what what would normally only be in a column. For example if you had a "type" for each of the "keys" you could created a measure:

mType = FIRSTNONBLANK(keys[type],TRUE())

Using the "mType" measure in a table would show the same text as putting "type" in as a column, but it would allow the row to have at least one measure with a result without having to add zeros to a numeric measure.

Thank you! Didn't know this bug disappears if at least one measure brings a result. This was a lifesaver for me, thanks!

In your time spend formula add +0 and try

time spend = <Current calculation> + 0
