    Hi olgnanaraj,

    Yes, currently hyperlinks in tables must begin with www., http:// or https://. Regarding to the feature that create hyperlinks begin with other prefix, please vote it and add comments in this idea: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/14829570-hyperlinks-without-http .

    In your scenario, as a temporary workaround, you can upload files to OneDrive, then get shared links of files and add the hyperlinks in table. There is an example for your reference.


    Thanks,
    Lydia Zhang

Thanks for the suggestion, but One Drive will not work as we have more than 250'000 Files and the sync does not support more.....
