Yes, my table is view in the Lakehouse.

I was able to get this done with Visualization => Column => Conditional formatiing

Contional format on a other Other called 'Attachment' with values 'Download' as string

and assigning URL value to to Attachment column

and now in Report:

Hi @VenDaFabricator 
Thanks for using Fabric Community.
You would want to review that in the model that the Data category for the column was properly set for this column in the table. And just a side note, if that table is truly a view and not a table that wouldn't support Direct Lake mode and would simply run in DirectQuery mode.
