    First, did you tag this column as an Image Url in the Modeling tab under Data Category. Second, what visual are you using?

      Thanks Greg.

       

      I used the URL column as the dataset for "Image". Im trying to use this custom visual called "Chiclet Slicer".

        OK, I can't speak for the Chiclet slicer but I will give it a go but check that your column has a Data Category of "Image Url" under the Modeling tab.

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    It also works for me. Please refer:

     

     

    In your scenario, what's the version of your Power BI desktop and chiclet slicer? I'm using Desktop Version: 2.55.5010.521 64-bit (February 2018) and Version 1.4.8.0 chiclet slicer. Also, to troubleshoot your issue, I think you can put these Image URLs to other visuals like table. See if it works in other visuals.

     

    Thanks,
    Xi Jin.
