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.
