Image not loading from ONE Drive for Business

Hello,

 

I've followed the instructions in other posts on the board about how to load images from One Drive or SharePoint but I am not getting either option to work.  I have a field that stores the URL for each Projects Timeline (since BI doesn't do anything for this visual in BI whatsoever) that is part of each Project's PDP.  I've set the data category as Image URL.  I got the image link by putting the file into a One Drive for Business folder, shared it to myself w/edit, opened the image in the browser and right clicked and chose copy image link.  The image still shows w/the broken image icon.  Not sure what I'm doing wrong but any thoughts are appreciated.

hi, @Clint 

This might be related to permission, and don't use the url directly in power bi.

please refer to these two same post:

you could also open the share url link, and click "View original"

Now copy the original link and put it into power bi.

This didn't work.  The broken image icon still shows instead of the image.  I placed the image in a shared One Drive Dir that I own, I clicked on it, clicked on "View Original" from the top menu bar, copied the link that doing that resulted in from the Browswer address bar and put that in the appropriate field for my project.  I then refreshed the data and the broken image/missing image icon is still being displayed.  I tried the "Simple Image" visual from the Market and it doesn't load anything; the visual just remains blank.   This is definitely not resolved for me
