BASE64 Images Not Displaying in Power BI Report
I am facing an issue with Power BI reports today: Reports that use BASE64 encoding to embed images suddenly stopped displaying them. This method worked fine before, but starting today, no images...

Advocate IText 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.

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.
Thanks for this. I added "/png" to my base64 (all of mine are png images) and they went back to rendering as before. Great call!
