Hello,   Is there a way I can post hyperlinks in a database, and have them show up in a table and be clickable in powerbi?   Thanks, Eric

You just need to cast the data type for the URL in your data model - its super quick. 

  1. Navigate to the data model tab in Power BI Desktop
  2. Select the column that contains the URLs
  3. Under "Data Category" in the Modeling tab, select "Web URL"
 
After that, the URLs should show up blue and clickable in any table you place them in.
