custom link

I am having problems adding a custom link. I watched the video showing how to do that but I think it is an older version of Power BI  -https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-servic...

    I discovered the problem. You are not allowed to create custom links when you pin a visual (the whole report). You can only create custom links for individual visuals. Perhaps, Microsoft will change this with later versions :)

Hm, not sure why that "Set custom link" checkbox is greyed out. I wonder if that is a Pro feature for some bizarre reason? I don't have any problem setting that on my tiles.

      Hi tylerbauer,

       

      Great to hear the problem got discovered! Could you accept your last reply as solution to help others who has similar issue easily find the answer and close this thread?:smileyhappy:

       

      In addition, here is the idea for supporting Individual Custom Links for Pinned Live Pages on Power BI Ideas. You can vote it up and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner.

       

      Regards

        Is there any solution to this problem? or it is still a problem?

    Maybe this is the case. Do you have the pro version?
