Problem displaying images in Power BI

[noviceBI]

Hello,

I am trying to dynamically integrate images into my Power BI report (for example in a multi-line map visual), but although the category of the field I am using is "Image URL", here is the result I get for my visual:

For information, the links of the images I am using for the report are google drive links open to all.

Could someone help me solve this problem please?

Thank you very much!

You need to share the URL of an example image for testing

[noviceBI]

Yes of course! Here is the link of one of the images used:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tVGF3IM5coggGUSamXU0NCPE8pSKFwk_/view

No luck with viewing in a table so I checked with the HTML visual. I got this dialog box. So it looks like even though you are sharing it still requires a soft auth with a google account. You might have to host the image somewhere else, you could try hosting on a cdn or github, or somewhere like that

As a side note I was able to get a image to show if I used I used a image URI, embedding the data definiting the image in a measure

Hi @Deku 

Thank you very much for your reply. Could you please elaborate on how you achieved this result? I'm new to Power BI...

Thanks!

Just checked out the solution on the other post, and got a image in Power BI desktop

• Took your link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tVGF3IM5coggGUSamXU0NCPE8pSKFwk_/view
• Updated the link from "file/d/" to  "thumbnail?id=" https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id=1tVGF3IM5coggGUSamXU0NCPE8pSKFwk_

To get the URL I went into developer options in my web browser, found the image file on the web server, copied it data URL. You can then paste that into a formula, set the measure category to image URL and throw it in a table

Hi @Deku 

I don't understand... Why did you need to go and find the image address when I posted the link used?

[Deku]

Just update the img URL as per my other post adding the thumbnail bit

[noviceBI]

Okay, so I'll ignore your second message?

[Deku]

Yes

Thank you very much, it works!
