Hi @Amy289,

 

>>As I am connecting to SSAs live connection I can't use data category:image URL as it is restricted in live connection

Yes, live connection mode not support these feature.

 

If you mean display icon based on value, you can try to write a measure to check value and return unicode icons:

Unicode® character table

Hi @Amy289,

 

Which image you means? If you mean 'images' visualizations, you can direct insert it by click on images option on home tab.
If you mean add calculate column to store image url, it is impossible.
