Power BI can convert base64 string to image file and display out at table listing?

Hi all, 

 

I would like to ask is Power BI able to convert base64 string into image file and display out at table listing? I have one column to keep the base64 string and I update this column as "Image URL" in the Data category field at the Table view from Power BI Deskstop. But the outcome in the report, I can see one line of image file. Here is my screenshot.report_view_imagereport_view_image

 

Please assist on this question by giving more details suggestion as I'm still beginner in Power BI. Thank you.

Hi @Kent_10 

For larger images, the Base64 strings need to be split.

Take a look at this blog post and see if it helps:
