Problems with image links
Hii JayZee70
SharePoint doesn’t expose a real image URL by default, so Power BI can’t render it in an image slicer. The link you get from SharePoint usually opens a viewer page (contains “?web=1” or “?cid=…”), not the actual JPG/PNG file. Power BI only displays images when the URL ends directly with the file extension. Open the image in SharePoint >> select “Copy link” >> choose the Direct file link >> use that URL in your table. After that the images will show correctly and can be centered in the slicer.
JayZee70 , There is a workaround that allows a SharePoint image to be viewed on the Service. Please refer video from Guyinacube -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EowHdhy-Nio

I am copying the link from a Teams folder (Sharepoint link)
I make sure that the link ends with *.jpg
I paste the link in a column in the corresponding row for that Product ID in my excel datasheet
I have set the column to read Image-URL, but this is what I get
I don't understand why it doesn't work...
