Add Hyperlinks to Column Headers in Table or Matrix?

[willbost5]

Is there a way to add different hyperlinks to different column headers in a table or Matrix?  As Example:

Department	Metric 1	Metric 2	Metric 3
Accounting	10%	0.05%	85%
Marketing	12%	0.80%	91%
Operations	18%	0.12%	71%

Would like to link each column header Metric 1, Metric 2 and Metric 3 to distinct URLs for each header.

Hi , @willbost5 ;

Based on my test , it is unsupported to add Hyperlinks to Column Headers in Table or Matrix in Power BI currently. While your demand is a good idea, you can post your new idea in Idea Forum , add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.

As a workaround, you may extract all Column Headers As a column and add the URL. The specific steps are as follows:

step1:Duplicate table and rename it (Column Headers)

step2:Input expression in power query

= Table.ColumnNames(#"Changed Type")

step3:Add URL column

step4: add web url

The final output is shown below:

You also can refer to the document Add hyperlinks (URLs) to a table.

@willbost5 I don't think there is a way to add a hyperlink to the column header, only it can be set to the values.
