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
Hi Scott
I was having the same trouble and then I took a look at the PBI image in the thread above. That one was working for me too, but I wasn't getting mine to work. I noticed the PBI image was an embed link. An easy way to see the difference is the end of the URL as .jpg or .png. I sourced my images from a online image store SmugMug, which gave me the embed URL. Hope this helps!

Anthony,
I opened a smugmug account, and copied the URL to my table, then catagorized it as an image URL.
The image still will not appear in the PBI report. - Scott
