    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.

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 want to display the Power BI Dashboard as an image. I am using Cluster Map visualization in Power BI and trying to save the https: //hq - powerbi***    link ending with .jpg, in the Image URL field. But I can't see the image in Cluster Map visualization. Is it possible to use the Power BI dashboard link to show up as an image? Kindly advice.

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