I want to use Get Data in order to insert images from a website into Power BI. How do I do this? Alternatively, I could insert images into a SQL table, but we don't have write access for BULK Inserts, so it would have to be a different way. How else?
I would imagine that you need the url in the form "http://www.bing.com/images/something.jpg" or something similar. Then, you need to declare the column as a url. Finally, to use it in PowerBI, you would use the image url data box on the visual (e.g., Chiclet Slicer, or something).

I don't believe that you can store the image within the PowerBI model. However, you can store the website url for each image in a table in PowerBI.

Thank you. What I'm trying to do is to add a URL from Bing Images, where it will display all of the different images from one screen into separate rows.

Sounds good, but be careful when using someone else's website as they could change their url and break your data.
