Hello,

Hi @Chandrashekar,
Thank you for the update. Glad to know the issue has been resolved. Please feel free to reach out if you need any further assistance.
Use a blank image string, not text like Image Not Found.
Photo Display =
VAR Img = SELECTEDVALUE(Table[BinaryImg])
RETURN
IF(
ISBLANK(Img),
BLANK(),
Img
)
Hi @Chandrashekar,
This behaviour occurs because the New Card visual may cache the previously rendered image when the current record contains a blank or null Base64 image value. Instead of clearing the image, the visual continues showing the last successfully loaded image.
As a workaround, you can replace blank image values with a transparent placeholder image instead of returning BLANK(). This forces the visual to refresh correctly and prevents the previous image from being reused.
Example DAX:
FixedImage =
IF(
ISBLANK([BinaryImg]) || [Engineer_Name] = "Image Not Found",
"data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAYAAAAfFcSJAAAADUlEQVQIHWP4////fwAJ+wP9KobjigAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==",
[BinaryImg]
)
After creating the column, set:
Column Tools → Data Category → Image URL
This should display a blank image instead of repeating the previous employee image.
