Image Viewer Visual Chart

Hello everybody,

 

I'm doing a report and I would like to show the right picture when I select a product from the slicer.

 

In order to do so, considering that the pictures are saved in the company sharedrive, should I upload them online in order to get the url? Or I can simply write the picture path in the column?

 

Thanks in advance.

In order to show the picture as it is, you need to change the data category to Image URL.

 

You can do that without using the image viewer custom visual, you can display these pictures in a table, matrix, or slicer.

 

Note that this image is not clickable and doesn't redirect you to its path.

If you want to show a link for it as well, refer to this discussion

Hi @Anonymous,

Please type your URL into a table. And click the url column->Web URL under data category.

For instance, I creat a table like the following table.

Create a slicer including Users, when you select a use, it will return the corresponding url, click it he/she will get the resource.
