Go into your data model (middle icon on the left) in Desktop. Click your column. Click "Modeling" tab in the ribbon. In the ribbon in the Properties area you will see Data Category. Drop down and click Image URL.

Hi Greg_Deckler thanks a lot for the solutions. I need one more suggestion. I also need to find the current status of projects based on the status of the most recent date. How can i achieve this? Thanks again
Can we use local path for images??

Perhaps if you put it in the correct format, "file:///" but that would not work if publishing to the Service. In addition, if you shared the PBIX file with someone, they would have to have access to that file location or have those files in the same spot as you.
I cannot seem to get the images to show.
Tried using PNGs and JPGs.
Shared URL location is set to be visible to anyone using the link.
Manage to get it to work with a link to a Wikipedia public image.
Noticed that the image public URL for the Wikipedia one ends with the actual image filename and file extension.
The generated shared links for my OD4B do not.
Is this relevant?
