Images not showing in Power BI

Hi Team,

 

We have connected with Smartsheet > Power BI. In Smartsheet we have image column.

 

We are not able to see the images in Power BI.

 

We have attached error screenshot for reference.

Hi @KeerthanA_99 ,

 

Images are not imported into the model. Instead, they are hotlinked from the report. It appears that what you have are the filenames and not the actual paths to the images.  The screenshot below shows wikipedia logo hotlinked from https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/80/Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg. The URLs must also be accesssible within Power BI.
