Image URL to display Image not working
I currently have a table that references a list of image URLs, however when i put these in a visual the image does not show up displays only a 'broken image'.
I have also done the following;
1. Set the field to Image URL.
2. Using image Viewer
I suspect it is an bug with my power BI version. I have done a considerable amount of reading on this topic - yet with no success.
Would really appreciate assistance with this regard. How can I get the image to show up?
Thanks in advance!
Here ‘s an image link for your test to make sure the point is not about the version of desktop you used : https://community.powerbi.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/6047i8C8157EC4645A11A/image-size/large?v=1.0&px=600
If you’d like to add the url link to image, you'll need to save the image file online and link to it. Make sure special credentials aren't required to access the image file. For example, OneDrive and SharePoint require authentication, so images stored there can't be added in this way.
But there’s a solution when you need the image stored in Onerdrive/Sharepoint, please refer to the solved case for details: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Image-viewer-working-for-Web-URL-not-for-One-Drive-or-SharePoint/td-p/469510

Hello Dina,
Thank you very much for your response.
Your lmage URL did work. Would you know the reason for my other image URLs to not work?

Thanks your solution, the solution is the best... 😊 🙌 ,
So I have 10000 images therefore that images I covered image used from the Power query.
Also, 70% - successful, but 25% + more- half image and 4% or 3% images are crashed. 🤔I think power query has limited characters 🙁 ......
Can you please have you any solution for that issue?
