Currently have to spell out the entire URL to enable hyperlink. Is it possible to give a short name to a URL with hyperlink enabled?

You can do this! A few months back we shipped the ability to format a column in a table as a hyperlink that gets its URL from a different measure or column: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/power-bi-hyperlinks-in-tables Thanks for your votes!

RE: Short URL with display text

We have successfully made reports on msit.powerbi.com with live urls (in table visualization type) that link to VSO work items.

.but we want to make the work item title or ID number clickable rather than needing to expose the whole URL in a table column.
