Hi,
I am currently trying to load images from an external network into Power BI. It currently displays like this:
Please not that the image url only is possible to open if you are connected to the Meyn Internal Network. Is there some way to pull this off?
Gr,
Ryan

Hi @Anonymous ,
Power BI service cannot display images that require a specific network to load.
There are two workarunds to solve this problem.
1\ Make sure your image link can be viewed anonymously on any network.
// This will allow anyone to access the image.
2\ Save the file in the database in the format of datauri (header+base64).
// It actually saves the image in the database in text format.
Best Regards,

Hi @Anonymous
Loading images from an internal network into Power BI can be tricky, especially if the URLs are only accessible within that network.
My suggestion is use image urls in table/matrix chart.
