Hi,
I have a Sharepoint List in which I have Columns with Images and I have generated a power BI report by expanding this to Image column into Image URL and published this report to PBI service.
In Power BI service I can see images from this Image column.
Now I have generated a Paginated Report using this published Dataset but I have problem displaying Images.
Problem in Power BI servie for created Paginated report looks like this below
I have access and authorisation to access the Sharepoint file.
The problem is similar like explaned in this video. I follwed same steps as in video below
https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/c3heDVVYd5f.
Any suggestions. I tried to find suitable solution in MS PBI community but I couldn't able find right solution.
Thanks in advnace.
SharePoint Image to Paginated Report @d_gosbell
Your problem is the second bullet point from this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/paginated-reports/report-design/images-report-builder-ser... External images cannot require authentication and everything in Sharepoint is authenticated. You either need to store the images somewhere else or look to embed them within a database so that the paginated report can pull them down with the query.
Hi,
As you suggested, I have changed the data source from Sharepoint to Local Computer. (Excel file as well Pictures)
I can access and display images from Local computer in Power Bi desktop as well Power BI service but I have same issue displaying Images. 👇
Note: I am accessing Local data to Power BI through On-Premises Gateway
Problem is the same even when I changed the datasource from Sharepoint to local computer.
Any alternative now?
Thanks in advance.

I actually stored the images in my Local computer by name ID same as in Excel file.
HI @The8,
Have you try to use the root URL of the image files?(e.g. www.xxx.com/abc.jpg) AFAIK, the SharePoint images include additional authorization which may not be processed during report visual data load steps.

Hi,
I tried Image URL from my dataset, directly in web search and this URL is working well and I can see images but I can not see the images in Paginated report.
In paginated report also I treid both JPG as well png but I have same problem.
URL format is as below :
https://$company$.sharepoint.com/sites/$File Location$/$Lists$/7z65r.png
How can I solve the Issue.
Thanks!!
