    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.

Hi,

 

I'm also facing the similar problem.

URL is not of website, instead of the image in the website.

 

My data is is excel which stores the links of URL.

This excel file is stored in share point.

And it has also been converted as Image URL.

 

Attaching screen shots.

    Same problem occurs here. My attempt to integrate the link of an image from sharepoint into a seperate excel failed even though I am connected to sharepoint via powerbi. Appreciate any suggestions.

      The issue appears to entirely an authnetication issue from PowerBI to rest of O365.  When I use Delve images the images don't work unless I manually connect to Delve once.  The token is then on my machine and if I refresh the report the images work.  This is an issue that Microsoft should really correct.   I will create a new thread/suggestion to see if they can get this fixed.

        Hello,

        Hi facing the same issue ...

        What did you mean by connect to Delve once ? I'm already connect to delve on my explorer but I'm still blocked in Power BI.

        (For more information I'm trying to get the profile picture using this kind of url : https://eur.delve.office.com/mt/v3/people/[email protected])

        Best regards,

        Reynholds.
