Hi all,
In my Report I have a Table with a column containing the string of an URL.
I've categorized this column as Web URL and the result works as expected - clicking on the URL, respectively on the icon, the link is opened.
Unfortunately I need to open the URL in a specific browser. For this case I found this article (https://www.itworld.com/article/3008858/how-to-open-specific-web-browsers-using-hyperlinks.html) providing a solution, which works fine, but not for PowerBI.
In the article, the author states, that building the URL like
<a href = "microsoft-edge:http://google.com"> link </a>
will open the URL in MS EDGE. Working fine for HTML documents.
Adjusting my string in the PowerQuery editor with the prefix microsoft-edge: unfortunately results in the situation that Power BI cannot interpret this string as Web URL and therefore does not provide the link any longer.
Same result, if I build the HTML frame (<a href = "....) around my URL.
My question to the community now is, if there is a possibility to have a working URL string in Power BI to be opened by a specific browser.
I have no influence on the settings of each report consumers machine, so defining MS EDGE as standard browser will not make it for me.
I am looking forward to your replies.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions and help.
Best wishes
Solved! Go to Solution.
I'm afraid to tell you that this is currently is not possible with PowerBI.
You have certain limitations like
"The URLS must start with http:// , https:// or www."
and therefore you won't get this working.
If this post was helpful may I ask you to mark it as solution and give it some kudos?
Have a nice day!

Thank you for your answer.
For obvious reasons, I did not want to receive this reply 😉
Hopefully something will change here.
