Update Image Automatically using URL
Community ChampionHi,
you can do it in the following way:
- Create a small table which holds the URL (see figure).
- Use a image or table visual.
- Set the data category on tab ColumnTools to Image URL (see figure).
- Change the image but use the same file name and URL.
The image will change accordingly.
Hello FrankAT ,
Thank you for you reply,
Actually, it's not possible to have a unique URL in Sharepoint, so i did the following:
I created a Sharepoint List that contains the Title and URL (URL type: single line of text), then I go back to power bi, click on Get Data>Sharepoint List >choose the list , then I change the type of the URL in the Modeling part as you said - and click on Image URL viz. Then, when the user will change the photo, he'll put it in a Sharepoint document and we create a Flow that takes the link of the new one and puts it in the place of the old one - when an item is created.
finally, when he does refresh, he will have the new image without human intervention in powerbi.
thank you again for your support !!! Very Helpful !!!
