PowerBI desktop BUG - measure web url double quotes

[GnnovationPBI]

Hi, I have a measure that is formatting a url and passing values into a query string. The query string requires double quotes around the values. The url is to D365 Finance and Operations.

The measure creates the URL successfully and I can copy and paste the value into a browser and it will render the page successfully. However, when i configue the cell element in the grid to Web URL, the strings now have two double quotes around each string, which I is invalid. Any ideas? This seems to be a bug in the web URL setting in Power bi.

Issue: The ProjID should be formatted as "ProjID" but the web URL setting is formatting as ""ProjID"".

Hi @GnnovationPBI ,

What's the meaning of "configue the cell element in the grid to Web URL"?

How do you operate?

Hi @v-mengzhu-msft,  1.) put a table visual on your report 2.) add columns to the table 3.)  format visual 4.) expand cell elements and turn web URL on.

The image below is for the measure logic, which formats the URL string...This measure is used in the cell element Web URL setting.  

the value of webURL3 is correct, since i can copy and paste the url on a browser and it renders the page correctly. However, when the value of WebURL3 is used in the cell elements "WEB URL" function, it contains extra double quotes around literal strings.  So my assumption, is that the WEB URL function is adding the addition double quotes.
