Split Texts to Display Images

Hello,

 

I have a dataset with several text and number columns that contain pictures. I have successfully turned the image column to text. Now I need to divide the characters to display images as the Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYYJEx6kY5s 

 

Can anyone help me with how I can specify Excel to work with only the image column, from the step of splitting characters to 30,000, not the whole dataset (which includes some number columns), as I need to keep the numeric column to set the relationship with the data file? Thank you

Hi @ale259 ,

Regarding your question, it seems that you are storing large images. Please refer to the following article.

https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2019/05/19/storing-large-images-in-power-bi-datasets/

Your 'number' column is similar to the 'name' column in the article, both are used to distinguish different pictures.

Only the 'Content'(Pic) column is split.You can modify the sample code provided in the article according to your needs.
