Hi all,

is there a way to launch an external application from a Power BI Dashboard, ideally with a parameter?

E.g. by rightcklicking on a field in a table --> Send to...

i can embed a url in my table and launch a web app such as:

https://something.url/cherwellaccess/queries?xxxxxxxxx

i would like to embed an application launcher such as:

cherwellclient://commands/goto?xxxxxxxx,  which does work in a browser address to launch the executable cherwell client.

It seems like the table only understands http/https?

Anyone know how to do this?

You cannot get the app from a dashboard, you can only get an app via the Get App feature, on dashboard is only used to view.

Thank you, but I think this is not what I meant 🙂

I have an .exe file which I want to start (ideally with parameters).

I'll try to realise it with URL, but not sure if it will work...

Thanks!
