Can't get image to display from a dataverse table

Hi,

 

I have a sime app on Powerapps that uploads an image and saves it to a dataverse table like below.

I'm wanting to display the image on a Power BI report but it doesn't seem to be working.

This is how the the table looks like in Power BI

I ensured the Image_url column is categorized as an image URL, but when i put it in a table i get the error below

How do i fix this?

I have a suggestion.  Please reply to the forum post using the Image URL to test that an anonymous user is able to load the image.

Ah I think I see the problem, power apps isn't storing the image as a imageurl but a file. Is there a way of showing the image file in powerbi?

Confirm that the following is true:

 

Considerations

  • The image needs to be in one of these file formats: .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png, or .svg
  • The URL must be anonymously accessible, not on a site that requires a sign-in, such as SharePoint. However, if images are hosted on SharePoint or OneDrive, you might be able to get an embed code that points directly to them.
  • The Power BI mobile apps display the image only if the image URL is anonymously accessible. The image cannot be hosted on a site that requires a sign-in, such as SharePoint, even if you can see the image in Power BI Desktop or in the service.

The images are stored in a .jpg format in a dataverse table, which should be accessible
