How to upload and use images in Power BI Project that uses Excel as a database?

Hi, I would like to create a project that contains "Departments" and would really like to display an image icon representing the department on several charts and/or buttons. I would like to do it dynamically and get those images from a table. 

 

I already have a dimention table "Departments" in Excel that has a Department list:

Department_ID, Department_Name 

 

I would like to add a third column called "Department Image" to my Department table that links to an image somehow, which I will then pull into a Power BI Dashbaord (I suppose I cannot paste an image into an Excel file directly, so it should be a URL pointing to an image or a path to a location like a folder somewhere?)

 

So, I need a table that would have three columns, where Department_Image is going to contain a path to my image:

Department_ID, Department_Name, Department_Image

 

Can anyone assist? Thanks!

I just meant "Power BI Report" that I develop using Power BI desktop.
