    Hi All, I know it's a bit of old topic. But not sure what is happening to me here.

    So the Image grid it is working fine when I open the report in Chrome, BUT the images still do not appear in the 'project' in the desktop power BI app, and neither in the report that I added in my Teams. This is how I see it, do you know why?

    Can you post the full URL of the image you are trying to display?

  • hi, Anonymous Greg_Deckler

     

    You must change the field property ...
    Menu> Modeling> Property>
    Change to IMAGE URL

     

     

    Please try and test using it. And please mark the right reply as answer if your issue has been resolved, otherwise, please feel free to ask if you have any other issue.

    Best Regards,

    The URL itself is working and as you can see the data category is also assigned to Image URL.

    It is not working for any of the tables with Image urls.

    Also I am using PBIdesktop 64 bit version.

    Images are not shown in the Matrix grid detail.  You endup with "First Image UrL".  "First/Last" will only see it as string value. There is an enhancement request out here somewhere for this.. for First and Last to use the datatype and display the image --- but doesn't seem to be high on anybody's priorities list.  I think it would be an easy win -- then you could at least show some home grown KPI's in the matrix.

  • Anonymous Is your image publically accessible using URL?

     

    As Greg_Deckler suggested, can you share the URL here and see if it can be accessed by everyone.

  • I was using Sharepoint images which showed up for some and not for others.

     

    After a lot of research, these two solutions solved my problem:

    1) Embed the images within your report (Base64)

    2) For Sharepoint images: embed the Power BI report on a Sharepoint page
