    Hi shaunguyver,

     

    In order to make the image address work, we should make sure that that you can share the files to anyone. Please ask your administrator  to change the setting in the Admin for one drive.

     

     

    Then share the file to anyone and copy the link.

     

     

    Paste the link to your browser, after the image has been loaded, copy the image address.

     

     

    At last we can use the URL with no issue. Please check the result as below.

     

    This way might be a bit complex, so I suggest you to use the OneDrive for personal instead of the Business.

     

    Regards,

    Frank

Thanks for your detailed reply - I managed to get your solution for OneDrive for business working, by simply opening the image in my browser and copying the link. It actually produces the '....image.jpg' URL, which works.

 

However, this only works for the first image in my list of images. Every other image I have uploaded (they go from 'building1.jpg' through to 'building15.jpg') shows the broken link pic. All filenames are consistent, and the slicer produces the correct URL in a test table I have placed next to my image viewer visual. However, it seems to only want to show the first one.

 

Any idea why this might be? I'd upload my file, but the dataset links to one drive so would assume won't work on your local machine.

 

Thanks,
