    As I suspected. You need to follow the links all the way until you get to the actual image file itself. Otherwise the URL is just a webpage that contains an image somewhere in its code. So for the up arrow for instance you would use...

I'm suspicious that these are not direct image file urls, but rather google images viewer urls. Can you post the full urls of a few of them?

For the first two:

        Hi,

         

        I have the following excel sheet with the URL of the image I want to include in my report:

        I linked it to my data table and changed the type to Image URL. But I get the following:

         

        The images appear as "Stickers" and we cannot see them. Does anyone have a clue?

         

        Thanks!
