Different behaviour of URL Image field in multi-row card visual

Hello, 

I have a strange condition for the utilization of the same Image URL field  in two different multi-row cards visuals.

The field is "Flag" in the table "Country_numbers" and is called by two different measures:

- in the first case, I have the below measure:

FlagValue =
VAR PippoValue = [VincitoreCampContPaesi]
RETURN
    CALCULATE(
        MAX(Country_numbers[Flag]),
        Country_numbers[NomePaeseAnno] = PippoValue
    )
and you can see the results in the visual, which is ok

- however, in the second case, I use another measure because I am also linking the cities from another table:

FlagVincCampSubCont =
VAR PlutoValue = CALCULATE(DISTINCT(Cities_numbers[Country_ref]), Cities_numbers[Ranking_cont_lvl1_aux]=1)
RETURN
    CALCULATE(
        MAX(Country_numbers[Flag]),
        Country_numbers[NomePaeseAnno]=PlutoValue
    )
but in this other visual the link is displayed as a text, and not as an image:

Would you find any explanation for this difference, and how to get the image for the second case?

Thank you in advance!

Hi @Bimbone ,

Have you tried changing the data category of this measure to Image URL?

Hi @Bimbone ,
Try changing data category to image url.

 

One issue is, distinct return a one column table but CALCULATE function expects a scalar value for comparison. This can cause the measure to not evaluate correctly. To fix this, you should ensure that PlutoValue returns a single value.

Hi @AnkitaaMishra ,

great, yes, it works!

I did not realize you can change the data category of a measure,  I thought it was using automatically the ones of the fields..

Can I please ask you another question: is there any way to change the size of an image in a multi-row card? 

Hi @Bimbone ,

As far as I know, the multi-row card visual doesn't provide an option to resize image size directly.
However, you can create an SVG code within a DAX measure to define the image size and then use it in a matrix visual as an alternative.

 

Hi @AnkitaaMishra ,

 

thank you for your suggestion, I will try to have a look at this svg option
