Open External web url from PBI report

[ravipp1985]

Hi All,

I have one PBI report which has one redirect button on this button click i want to open a Angular application which will autheticate the pbi user and open the application if user is authenticated. The angular app should open in same browser window as pbi service.  Any help on this will be really appriciated.

Thanks,

Hi @ravipp1985 ,

Please review the following links, hope they can help you.

Power BI Desktop Opening external website

URL Action - Open in same window

Link to external web site (or other published Power BI Application)

This should do the trick... but ummm

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-add-hyperlink-to-text-box

OK, so it's supposed to work when published to the powerbi web site. Which is exactly what I want. Though this doesn't let me test it as such... oh well.

Additionally... the August 2018 release has a Web URL that you can set up. In the example (watch the video) I can't figure out how the icon is presented instead of URL text.

OK format the Matrix, under VALUES, look for URL Icon and turn it on.
