Hi @dinesharivalaga 

 

Thank you very much danextian for your prompt reply.

 

I found your post while checking the forum. Did you solve your problem? If not, here is some information for you.

 

Make sure your data source contains an Image URL column.

 

Under the Modeling tab in the ribbon, find Data Category and set it to Image URL.

Add a visual and make sure the image displays correctly in the visual.

Hi @dinesharivalaga 

Normally, you can extract the image url up to the extension but since the images are private the authentication should happen prior to loading them but based on testing, Power BI attempts to load the images first so they appear broken. What more if the users don't have access to the images at all?
