Image urls are not working

[shashank]

Hi Team,

In my data in one column i have captured url of images, when i'm creating tables or other visuals using those url's they are not getting converted into images.

I have changed data type of that column as URL in model,i'm using Power BI desktop.

is there any specific visual which can only be used for that puropse ?

Did you set the Data Category (not Data Type) to "Image URL" ?

Under Properties on the ribbon, to the right of Formatting etc.

I can't find any specific doco on it, apart from http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/How-to-Include-images-in-reports-from-folder-or-url-or-binar... but Power BI may be, strictly speaking, looking for a http:// based URL rather than C:\...

Does it work if you source your images from OneDrive etc. ?
