I have a table with an icon column. I would like to change the alt text for it to be accessible. Is this possible?

    Hi Anonymous ,

    1. If the text is about image, you can change the data category into image URL but you should consider:
      • The image needs to be in one of these file formats: .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png, or .svg
      • The URL needs to be anonymously accessible, not on a site that requires a sign-in, such as SharePoint. However, if images are hosted on SharePoint or OneDrive, you may be able to get an embed code that points directly to them.
    2. If the text is about web page, you can change the data category into web URL and enable URL icon under Values option in Format pane

    Best Regards,

      Those methods work fine to add an icon, but I can't change the alt text. I have a user that is blind and can't read the data because it's just an image. The alt text is the same thing as the url.

      You can set a web url for other columns. I need something similar, but for alt text.
