    So after you've typed the address in the Text Box and clicked the hyperlink button to activate right?

     

    Then it gets a little tricky in the Desktop only (on the service it should click immediately)

     

    In the Desktop you'll have to 1st click anywhere inside the hyperlink in the text box and

    then you'll have to click on the hyperlink that shows up in the formatting bar that appears!

     

     

    Hope this helps! Again if you publish to the service the link works though!

    Good Luck! :smileyhappy:

  • Believe it or not, I tried many times both on Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service as you said but failed, However with the version 2.42.4611.701 I just updated hours ago, it works smoothly now.

      This is another issue please don't mix it with the topic "Get data from folders unable to retrieve the author". Do you have any solution on this issue? Thanks.
