Inserting Button with the Action field as a Web URL - Not Working on iPhone

Hi everyone,

 

I just updated a report based on the new functionality that allows a Button action to be a URL in the conditional formatting box.  The URL is a link to Google Maps based on a data field in my model that concatinates an address field with the Google Maps link. When I try it in Desktop, it works perfectly.   Ctrl and Click, it brings up the exact address in Google Maps.   Then I publish it, and on my iPhone I try again.  Nothing.  The other Buttons which have bookmarks to other pages in the report work fine.  When I tap the button with the URL, nothing. 

 

Bug?  Anyone else have this issue?  Workaround? 

 

Thanks!  Sean

@APB ,

 

Based on my test, the button link to web can't work in power bi mobile. I would suggest you to submit your idea here to help improve power bi. As a workaround, you can create an additional column in your table and set the Data Category to "Web URL" as below:

A quick update.   The most recent PowerBI updates resolved the problem both in the Apple PowerBI App.   Now it works. 

Thanks PowerBi Team for getting the fixed.
