Hyperlink Image instead of URL

[jimmyg706]

Friends

I have a table like so in Power BI:

Its formatted as a web url :

Is there an option where I can just have a little image of a link rather than the full url which is taking up vital space in PBI Service as its a bit of a lengthy  URL.

Comments welcome

Thanks  @christinepayton    That was the key bit of information. All my issues are now solved.

The Columns is formatted as so:

Fig 1

Fig 2

The Visulisation - Ive tried this on and off but no matter what - I get the full URL.

Change it to "web URL" category and try again. It needs to be categorized for Power BI to fully recognize that it's a URL.

Well this is mindblowing that I cannnot get an ICON to display.

Table View:

Cell Elements:

Did you toggle the icon on in the URL icon settings? I don't see that part in your screenshots. Also make sure that the data category is set in the column categorization setting.

Yep, it's a toggle in the visual settings: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/power-bi-hyperlinks-in-tables?tabs=powerbi...
