Image URL creation

[nzaccountant]

Hi there

is there a way of creating image URL's yourself? I have a set of images that are static files (not image URL's) and I want to create URL's for them, and then use these to create a relationship with one of the tables in my model. 

Thanks

Hi @nzaccountant 

Image URLs mean that the images are from the web or hold in online platforms, so they have Web URLs that Power BI can use to get them. These cannot be paths for local images. The URLs need to be anonymously accessible, not on a site that requires a sign-in, such as SharePoint. However, if images are hosted on SharePoint or OneDrive, you may be able to get an embed code that points directly to them.

If you hold images in local machines, you need to convert images to Base64 encoded strings and format them to image URLs.

@nzaccountant , need more details.

Say you have a common URL  - HTTP://www.abc.com/ and you want to filter for item

you can create a new column with item column in table

New URL = "HTTP://www.abc.com/item=" & [Item]

you can add other stuff

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

Thanks - I'm not quite sure if I understand you correctly?

I don't have any URL at the moment, just the pictures.
