Images not displaying when plotting the column with UNC path, while works to insert directly
Hi Anonymous ,
Here ‘s an image link for your test to make sure the point is not about the version of desktop you used:
If you’d like to add the url link to image, you'll need to save the image file online and link to it. Make sure special credentials aren't required to access the image file. For example, OneDrive and SharePoint require authentication, so images stored there can't be added in this way.
But there’s a solution when you need the image stored in Onerdrive/Sharepoint, please refer to the solved case for details: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Image-viewer-working-for-Web-URL-not-for-One-Drive-or-SharePoint/td-p/469510
If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

Thank you for your solution. It still won't let me use a UNC path but it works fine with http path.
However I came across another issue. The images are display in a matrix that has the value linked to the column with image URLs. The images are showing correctly in Power BI Desktop and in service. However it doesn't show when open the report from public embed code. I tested to insert a static image using one of the URLs and it worked in all three cases - PBI desktop, service and public embed.
What can be the potential issues?
Hi Anonymous ，
I use the matrix visual in the report, and then publish the report to the web, the image can still be displayed. Can you open the image in the browser using only the URL?
This is my test link. embed code
