Hi All,

Can canyone let me know how can we edit the report to see what visuals have been used to develop the report.

Need to see how the filter for product group has been used in form of buttons and images.

Want to know if this has been done using some powerbi visual or the image on button are being pulled form database.

This is actually Chiclet Slicer. Images are pulled from the external server but the data-set contains hyperlinks.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi Ignat,

Thanks for the reply.

Need your help with "Images are pulled from the external server but the data-set contains hyperlinks."

As the binary data (images stored in database) is not supported in PowerBI , can you please forward some link to import image data in PowerBI.

There're two ways to include images into Chiclet Slicer:

Keep images as base64 strings into the data-set (database)
Upload images to any public cloud storage service such as Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. Include hyperlinks (hyperlink must point the external service) into data-set. Please take a look at this sample report to find out more.

Hi Ignat,

Can you please elaborate a bit more on the first methord mentioned (Keep images as base64 strings into the data-set (database)).

Thanks You

You need to convert images into base64 encoding using any free online service such as https://www.base64-image.de/

Once you get a base64 string then you should add it into your data-set and use the string as a image url.

Please let me know if you need any extra details.
