1. Re: URL Actions on Selected rows

This example shows links for CNN and NYT but not for WSJ.

2. Re: URL Actions on Selected rows
Suruchi Choudhary Feb 22, 2016 9:38 AM (in response to Zach Leber)Great, thanks Zach!
I cleared the content of that particular column with weblinks and refreshed the dashboard. It seems to be working now. For some reason, dashboard was not treating the blank cells in the excel as 'Null' before.
Many thanks for your reply as it did not occur to me otherwise to delete the column content and try again.
You saved my day!

3. Re: URL Actions on Selected rows
Suruchi Choudhary Feb 26, 2016 2:10 AM (in response to Suruchi Choudhary)Hi Zach,
Tableau desktop does not open blank web pages where I do not have associated weblinks in the data, however, once published on the server, clicking on the data results in opening a blank web page so looks like the issue still exists once published.
Is there any way to resolve this? I am using URL actions on 'select' to open the associated web page.
Regards,
Suruchi

Then for NULL URLs the user won't see the Menu choice. You can edit the worksheet Tooltip to remove the command buttons to make it easier for a user to notice the link.
