    Suppose that I have a table that holds product information. One particular column (column A) has a URL value that points to the product page, while another column (column B) holds the product name.

    What I am suggesting is that we could customise a model so the URL of column A could be used to make column B (the product name) a hyperlink.

    This way if we present a table that in Power BI that shows product names, the product names would be clickable as a hyperlink. Then clicking on the hyperlink would open a browser window, which would show the product page.

    Users could specify such relationship in a similar way they specify a column that is sorted by values of another column.

    We've started the work to allow you to conditionally format a column as a URL based on a value from another column.

    Great idea - I hope this would also allow to bring hyperlinks finally to row / column headers in MS Matrix visuals as well :-)

    I love this idea, specifically for Salesforce connection. To be able to link directly to an Opportunity from the Power BI report would be amazing.

    We can do that for the value of another column when used in table/matrix. Please add an option to add an url to the row 'name'.for example | COLUMN 1 | COLUMN 2 | COLUMN 3+ this is the row name and it is a link | x | y | z+ this is the row name and it is a link | x | y | z

    Conditonal formattin Allows only first and last value to be linked to the text, how can make it dynamic based on the row value of the hypelink.
