BASE64 Images Not Displaying in Power BI Report
Advocate IIt is working for me now. I might have done a few changes but I think when I generated the base64 code again today using the same image, the string started with “data:image/png;base64,” instead of the earlier “data:image;base64,”. Once I made that change I had to make sure the Data category for the field was set to “Image URL”.
FYI, my images were small to begin with, and Base64 was only 8K characters.
Not sure if the encoding/decoding standards changed.

Text editor won't show the exact text I entered. I had to replace "image" with "image/png". I am assuming this only applies to .png images.
