    Hi, SamTaylor 

     

    1. You may go to the OneDrive website and sign in with your Microsoft account. 

    2. Pick the image you want to include in Power BI reports or  dashboards.

    3. Copy the path for the corresponding image.

     

     

    You may create a table with a 'image URL' column and publish the report to service. Here is the result.

     

     

    Best Regards

    Allan

HI SamTaylor 

 

You have to store the image on a url location where PBI service can access it or where you host the report.

OneDrive will have your credentials so when you publish it to server, it maynot work with server credentials you have to sign in on the server with your credentials.

Chwkc the below link for displaying images.
