Display Images from URL Link - Not Working
Scott,
In regards to using DropBox try this:
1: Go to the file to share, and click "Share".
2: Click "Create a Link"
3: Click "Copy Link"
- The url output should look like "https://www.dropbox.com/s/8lhbtky7gq973db/CARN%20122%282%29.JPG?dl=0"
4: Replace "?dl=0" with "?raw=1"
- The result will be that instead of the image being shown as part of the dropbox experience the image will be in a raw layer and shows inside PBI.
Yuliana,
Your test image did work in my model.
I saved an image from a webiste as a jgp file in Dropbox, copied the Dropbox link to my table and identifed it as an URL image data category.
The snapshot below shows the image you provided, followed by the image icon (not the actual image) from my Dropbox link.
Are you able to load images to Dropbox, or OneDrive and get the same result?
Thanks,
Scott
Scott;
I have a similar problem with Image URL links to Sharepoint online. If I display the field as a Web URL I can click on it and takes me to the right image and works fine. But if I convert the field to Image URL it displays the broken image icon and not my image. Any recomendation?
I have seen images appear successfully, but it is hit or miss. Did you categorize the column containing the link as Image URL?
from where do we change that?
