Image not showing in table

Hi guys, this seems to come up alot, and i have read and tried all the fixes with no joy.

 

For simplification, I created a table and put the image URL in it.

I have a table and a Simple Image visual.

I put the URL field in both.

the image only appears in the Simple Image Visual only.(elinating access, networking etc issues)

 

 

This is on my desktop.

Im running 64bit December 2021

 

The lady developng the report can see the images on her desktop. as soon as she publishes they are lost.

any ideas whats going on?

thanks a MIL

ian

    HI IanCockcroft,

    What type of image URL are you working on?

    AFAIK, the current power bi visual does not support recognizing the URL that includes any redirect or additional authorizations. (e.g. share link from web drive, custom share link, short link service...)
    For this scenario, I'd like to suggest you use the root link that can be located to the image files instead. (e.g. www.xxxx.com/xxxx.png)

    Regards,

    Hi IanCockcroft 

    Seems problem in URL or URL hosting site.
    Can you please check what is URL hosting site and you have the permission to see the image (line sharepoint image, you have access to see it) or can you share one image URL

      Hi PijushRoy , the image does appear in the simple image visual, so doubt its a URL or network issue.

      Hi PijushRoy , same issue. but i did use the GRID visual by MAQ and it works.

      Now they trying to export to PDF and  the images are lost.

      I am busy builing my own visual.
