how to hyperlink text in table with another url field?

[saipawar]

Hi,

I have two columns namely, 1- content name and 2-the web url/hyperlink.

How can I overlay the url such that the content name is clickable?

Should I create a new measure or  a column to capture this?

Thanks

Hi, @saipawar 

Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end. 

Table:

You may create a table visual and then go to 'Visualizations'=>'Format'=>'Conditional formatting'=>set the 'Web URL' for 'Name' as 'On'.

Finally you may click the corresponding 'Name' to go to specific link.

Best Regards

Allan

It sounds like you already have the columns you need in column 1 and 2. Just put them both in a table and format using conditional formatting.

EDIT: You actually only need to put the link text/description in the table, and apply conditional formatting to it by using field value and choosing URL as the field, first, ok.

Make sure the link is formatted properly:
URLS must start with one of the following:

http
https
-mailto
file
ftp
news
telnet
