Merged idea
This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit SPF-I-4947 Allow more complex link renderer generation (include additional columns, custom calculations).

Refer to other columns in Link renderer Merged

I need to use values from multiple columns to generate the URL's. Currently, I insert a calculated column (using the concatenate function) to build the URL. I would like to avoid adding a new column for this (for performance reasons; the data sets are in the 1M rows range).

Would be great if it was possible to refer to other columns in the table when defining the link settings.

    SPF-I-4947 is simlar request.

    Work around is to insert calculated column to create the URL using custom expressions and have access to all columns e.g. 

    Concatenate("http://google.com/search?q=", [Term])" 

    Then use Link Renderer for this column.

    both the original idea is great to be able to refer to other columns with the link renderer, and Oliver's idea to be able to execute a script from the link rendeder

    I have done this 6 years ago using a custom value renderer API. And if we can add the ability to execute a program or a script on this link that would be great.
