    lukas_alex,

    Could you please post sample data of the image column? In Power BI Desktop, images work for URL that over web not local path, you can review the following example.

If you select the field and go to the Modeling tab, verify that the Data Category is set to Image URL.

I have changed it but the image is still not showing up and I am just getting the URL.  Is there a specific format the image needs to be saved as?

      Hi,

       

      I also have a similar problem. 

      I already set the data category to Image URL.

       

      I found that it works if I use Google images or from Web, but I tried to upload my images to IMGur or my Sharepoint and it shows broken image

       

      Is there any recommendation on which webiste I should upload my image so that it works better?

      Thanks so much in advance Anonymous deldersveld 

       

      Best regards

      Kevin

        I didn't see a solution for the SharePoint question.  I'm having the same issue.  Any solutions?

      I was using a local path that is why it was not showing up.  I got it to work now! Thank you!
