Show Images as Annotations in Power BI

Anonymous — Tue, 01 Oct 2024 22:06:21 GMT

Hello,

I have checked numerous videos and links relating to annotations, but I haven't seen anyone with a similar idea. Is there any way to show images as annotations in my report? In my table, I have a list of URLS that point to certain images. The images show up when the column is formatted as an image url and placed into a Table or simialr visual, but I was tasked with placing images as annotations such as the photo below:

As far as I can tell, I am not able to replicate anything like this using annotations. Do you know of a work around?

Thanks!

Hello,

After browsing the forums, I was unable to find something that pointed me in the right direction. After looking up videos regarding annotations I created a second X Axis that allows the icons, stored as a URL with a corresponding created date, to be seen for any game that I am looking at.

However, I would like the icons to be placed above the node, similar to how annotations are taken care of. Is there any way to accomplish something like that? I have also attached a photo of the ideal situation that I am trying to recreate:

Thank you!

You can put the images in as custom report page tooltips, but there would be no way to create static annotations unless you went for a custom visual like deneb.
