Dynamic Image based on Slicer
I'm trying to do the same thing, but the image is still not showing. It is giving me only the text of the URL rather than the actual preview of the image. Can you please explain more how you made the actual image to display?

- Select Data in your left rail ribbon (looks like a Rubix Cube).
- Within your dataset, select the column with the URL.
- In your top ribbon, change your data categor to Impage URL
Hope that helps!
Thanks for your reply. I just did exactly that and then now it is showing a small icon but not the actual image. I have one of the images is within a library in a sharepoint list and the other is actually a public facing image just to make sure that it is not an authentication or access issue. But still both are showing the same.
The first image is how it is displayed on BI services. and the second one is on BI Desktop.
I saved and restarted BI, but stil showing the same.
I noticed that your image URLs, unlike mine, are "https". It certainly could be a security issue on your side and that a proper handoff between the systems is not occurring. With the steps that I outlined, the dashboard "now understands" it's meant to be an image - but it is not persisting.
Hopefully, someone else from the community can offer a suggestion.
Thanks! I actually see on your images that 2 of them are https and only one is http, and both are still been handled alright... I'll keep digging and trying different locations .. Please let me know if you came across something,
PS: PBI is new to me and i'm pressed in time to get a whole bunch of stuff done... You probably will see a lot of questions from me in this community for the next little while. :)
