Linked Picture to SharePoint List not displaying
Hello everyone,
I have set up a report that takes the data from a SharePoint List and displays a product specification.
I am now being asked to integrate pictures on this report but have encountered an issue.
The pictures I have linked are not displaying.
When I check on Table View, the column for the pictures don't show a URL. It only says [Record].
Is there a way to display the pictures have linked on the SharePoint List?
You need to expand out the record to get the image URL in Power Query. There's a double arrow icon next to the column header. They won't display in desktop (it'll be a broken image icon), but should when you publish to the web app. Make sure to set the category on the field to image url.
I haven't had the best luck with displaying images from SharePoint generally, though, especially if you have a lot - there's some sort of throttling limit when they're loaded simultaneously that doesn't always present right away.
