open link

[baronraghu]

Hi All,

Is it possible to open a particular link inside the powerbi dashboard

I have names of following countries and their wiki links

India	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India
Pakistan	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan
US	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States
China	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China
Japan	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan
Australia	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia

What I am looking for is-if on the slicer I select US then it should diplay first parah of the link

I think Strippet browser custom visual could do this. I tried using that but it displayed only the link not the content

Look forward for your reply

Thanks

Even i think this is not a possible option in the documentation, i think it may be possible to manipulate. If you can´t make it work with the custom visual, you might need to know about html.

I think it can be possible. Try to pin the table you are showing with the link. Then insert an icon/window that allow you to write html code. In this place, try to set the website of wikipedia with the link in the table. If you navegate throw inspect element, you will see that you explore the data in the table in order to use it in your adventage.

Regards,

P/D Another thought is to have the table with the links and click on them to open another tab to wikipedia.

Hi,

I didnt understand the second paragraph of your reply.

Is it possible to share an example. 

Something like this will also work. Since displaying image with chiclet slicer is possible, then this is also somewhat similar (i think)

The paragraph i wrote is going to be usefull for html developer. If need more details, let me know.

If there are not so much countries, you can create an excel with the information to have it (you'll be doing it once).

Another aproach is to add a data source type "Web" with the links of the table you send. You can see that you can extract a lot of information of wikipedia. Then merge all countries in one table to query.

The strippet browser can create a looking of a web site with the columns of information, but don't thinks is able to open a link.

Thanks @ibarrau

I agree with you strppiet brower can just give a feel of information opened in a website but its will just shw what is in a column.

I feel it would be something great if the PowerBi team comes up with something of opening a link in the report itself
