Hi @Noctis

This is correct. You cannot change the representation of the field using a Pivot Table.

In a normal table you can change the representation of the field to Link. (check right)

However I am not seeing this on a pivot table.

A workaround might be to use a normal table instead of a pivot table, and convert your horizontal dimension into a series of measures. So instead of e.g. 'Country' as a horizontal dimension, you create a measure column 'if(Country='A'...', then another measure column 'if(Country='B'...' etc.

Of course this may be impractical, it will depend on how many distinct values are in your horizontal dimension... but it could be a workaround in certain cases.

@JandreKillianRIC Use the Pivot Table in the Dashboard Visualisation Bundle. If you add a URL and then click on the value, unfortunately qlik wont open the hyperlink.

Hi @Noctis

Ok - I see what you are saying. I can get the link to display as a link > however when selecting this it doesn't open the link, instead it just selects it. Seems like a bug to me.
