Images stored on SharePoint broken image icon
I think I may have FINALLY figured this out. I have spent a lot of time trying everything and the solution that worked for me was very simple in the end.
In Edge (haven't tried Chrome)
1. Before going to your report, login to Office 365 (https://www.office.com/)
2. Navigate to your SharePoint site and log in if prompted (redundant to previous step)
3. Log in to your report
I cornered the issue to something with cookies and for whatever reason logging into O365 seemed to correctly place the cookie for PBI to access SharePoint.
Hope this helps!
Super UserHow much of a solution is this? What's the maintenance effort? These cookies expire/get purged etc.
It's a band-aid at best, and shouldn't be implemented as a solution. I was hoping it could be a start to an actual fix because thus far, I haven't come across any answer that resulted in an image being displayed successfully.

The only sure way is to embed the images in the semantic model. That gets rid of the authentication issues altogether.
Of course that may increase the semantic model size substantially, so may not be applicable in all scenarios.
