Can't see image in table from Sharepoint in Desktop but can see it if I use Image button.

[Anonymous]

I have this strange problem. When using desktop, I have images saved on sharepoint, I have access to it. I use a simple table that connects a companyID to URL of the image, so the Logo is diplayed properly.

I can see the logos in the table when I publish it online but I can't see them in the same table in Desktop. If I use the "Image" button and select an .jpg from Sharepoint it displays properly in Desktop. Please refer to images below, any suggestions on how to fix that would be more than helpful. I tried everything, even trying to store images localy and then convert them using Base64 code (some of the images didn't display properly).

Hi kohckamyxa,

Based on my test, this might be related to permission. When I set image permission in sharepoint like below

Then use get data->sharepoint folder, add a custom column to display full path of image like below

l

et

    Source = SharePoint.Files("https://xxxxxxx.com", [ApiVersion = 15]),

    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "fp", each [Folder Path]&[Name])

in

#"Added Custom"

Then add it in table, and set data categories to image URL, then it will work

You could refer to Dashboard Image Tile: Image not loading from provided URL and Getting Image URLs to display Image for details.

Unfortunetly, the organization doesn't allow setting the link to "Anyone with link". The only work around I found was to use the URL address of the tumbnail of the picture in Sharepoint to show properly. It contains token in the link and it's the same for all pictures.
