Power BI connect to image

Good afternoon, tell me I have a picture (a screenshot of the screen that is loaded every day into the same folder with the same name). How to create a connection so that Power Bi constantly uploads this picture. that is, to make an online link link between the picture

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

There two method to do that:

 

1 load image into power bi as Base64. Refer this video.

Import images in Power BI from local sources - YouTube

 

2 Use python visual to do this.

Python code:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.image as img

image = img.imread('c:\\users\\xxx\\downloads\\IMG_20180323_083209.jpg')

plt.imshow(image)
plt.show()

Or upload the image to onedrive as @amitchandak  said.
