Unable to Save File

[Anonymous]

Hello,

After some quick changes to my PBIX, I get an error message upon save that states the file path is invalid.

The issue only presents itself when I add an image to the PBIX file via URL.  If I upload the image manually, it saves without issue.  I'm just using the image option in the Home menu and inserting the URL.  Image loads fine.

I am using this method instead of choosing a file on my PC because the image looks pixelated in PBI Service unless I use a URL as the source...

If anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate it!  I did see a topic about how images with non-US characters in the name will cause this...  but we aren't talking about a file name here.  Just a URL.

Hi, I have got a solution for it. i have faced this issue multiple times and then i tried this on Windows 10 and it perectly worked. i am using windows 7 currently. what you can do is install Windows 10 as a virtual Machine in your system and try again the same process again and it will work fine. Also you can try it as Exporting as Power Bi Template and open the Power Bi Template again and try saving it. this works too. Also make sure that you are using PNG formatted images.

Thanks and Regards,

Rohit Binnani.

Thanks for reporting this! We're working on a fix for the issue (involves 'special characters', specifically those that must be URI encoded --  ex: % -- in image file names). As you mentioned, you can work around this by saving the image locally. You can also work around this by adding a column in your model with the image URL, setting the Data Category as such, then using it in your report

Hi @Anonymous,

I have tested it on my local environment, and we can reproduce this issue. I will report it internal and post here if there are any updates.
