Add mail to link in power bi

To add a mail link in Power BI, you can use the Hyperlink function in the Format pane. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Prerequisites:

• You have a Power BI report with a table or matrix that contains an email address column.
• You have the Hyperlink function enabled in your Power BI report. If you don't see the Hyperlink function, go to the Modeling tab in the ribbon, click on Manage, and then select Options > Formatting > Enable Hyperlink.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Select the column that contains the email addresses you want to link.
2. Go to the Format pane (usually located on the right side of the Power BI window).
3. Click on the Hyperlink button in the Format pane.
4. In the Hyperlink dialog box, enter the following formula:

= "mailto:" & EmailColumn

Replace EmailColumn with the actual name of your email address column.

5. Click OK to apply the hyperlink.
6. The email addresses in your column should now be linked. When you click on an email address, it will open the default email client on your computer with the email address pre-filled.

Tips and Variations:

• You can customize the hyperlink text by adding a label or a formula that returns a text value. For example:

= "Email " & EmailColumn

This will display the text "Email [email address]" instead of just the email address.

• If you want to link to a specific email address instead of the default email client, you can use the Hyperlink function with a custom URL. For example:

= "https://www.example.com/email/" & EmailColumn

This will link to a custom email page instead of the default email client.

• You can also use the Hyperlink function to link to other types of URLs, such as web pages or phone numbers. Just replace the mailto: protocol with the desired protocol (e.g., http://, https://, tel:).
