Problems with image links
- 8 months ago
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
Hi JayZee70
SharePoint imagesrequires prior authentication before they can be viewed. If you're doing this in Desktop, unfortunately, no prior authentication happens. When in the service, the user must be logged in to SharePoint first and must also have the right permission.
