Hello,
I have been trying to post some images by product from an SQL Server Database.
I have already done all those first steps.
But when I check them out, this are my results...
They are all cropped, not showing image entirley and some images are being blocked by the image icon.
Can someone help me?
Than you

Hi @Gutierrez4 ,
Microsoft reply:
Power BI allows a maximum string length of 32,766 characters in a column. In the case of a large image, if the string contains more than 32,766 characters, it truncates the rest of the characters. So, we get an inconsistent image due to this. This limitation should be always considered before using the image binary in the report.
Please check if this is the cause of your issue.
If it is, and you has the option, you could scale down images until they are under the limit and can be fully displayed.
