Why each option
To display a website name in a Power BI table visual while enabling users to navigate to its corresponding URL upon selection, you should utilize conditional formatting to apply web URL formatting.
Data categories provide Power BI with hints about column content (e.g., Web URL), which can enable specific display behaviors, but they don't directly create a clickable link in a table visual from a separate display column without conditional formatting.
Conditional formatting in Power BI allows you to apply 'Web URL' formatting to a column based on the values of another column. This enables the WebsiteName column to be displayed as a clickable link that navigates to the URL specified in the URL column.
Inline hierarchy labels relate to how hierarchical data is displayed in visuals and are irrelevant for creating interactive URLs from distinct website name and URL columns.
URL icons display a small icon next to a URL when a column's data category is set to Web URL, but this doesn't make a *different* column clickable using the URL from another column without conditional formatting.
