New Card Visual SVG as image not working

When adding an image to a series in the new card visual it says that the SVG format is supported, and it will allow you to select an SVG, but the SVG will not display.

 

Note, I am not referring to the 'background image' in the card fill settings though, the SVG does display and work fine there.

    Hi EHA_SD 

    I looked at the card in the visual list and there is no setting for adding an image. Also, what is the version of Desktop you tested ?

  • Thank-you for your response. I am using desktop version 2.118.621.0 64-bit (June, 2023)

     

    In the new card visual that is currently in preview, if you open the formatting pane --> visual tab --> Cards --> Image --> Browse --> Select SVG

     

    SVG is listed as a valid file type but does not seem to work:

     

    you can select an image to add to each series you have added for the new card visual

    I also have this issue when using the new card visual. Any update on a fix?

    Update EHA_SD & Migasuke  I have found that if I add an svg to the card visual I get the broken image icon. However if I save the pbix file with the broken image in place, close and reopen the report in then displays the svg image and I can adjust from there. 

  • Thanks twj ! A nice work around until the root problem is addressed. Have a good day!

    A happy accident that seems to fix it.... close Power BI then reopen! I'm not sure why, but it seems to work.
