Update Image Automatically using URL

Question

Hello,&nbsp;Could you please answer the following: I would like to have dynamic pictures in my powerbi report so I connected it to a sharepoint folder that contains 1 image. The main problem is that, the user would like to change the picture every month - by removing the old one and replace it with the new picture so it will update automatically in the powerbi.How can i do that since the URL is unique? Is it possible to do it without an intervention on the report ?&nbsp;Thank youn in advance,&nbsp;Rita

Hi,you can do it in the following way:Create a small table which holds the URL (see figure).Use a image or table visual.Set the data category on tab ColumnTools to Image URL (see figure).Change the image but use the same file name and URL.The image will change accordingly.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hello&nbsp;FrankAT&nbsp;,&nbsp;Thank you for you reply,&nbsp;Actually, it's not possible to have a unique URL in Sharepoint, so i did the following:I created a Sharepoint List that contains the Title and URL (URL type: single line of text), then I go back to power bi, click on Get Data&gt;Sharepoint List &gt;choose the list , then I change the type of the URL in the Modeling part as you said - and click on Image URL viz. Then, when the user&nbsp; will change the photo, he'll put it in a Sharepoint document and we create a Flow that takes the link of the new one and puts it in the place of the old one - when an item is created.finally, when he does refresh, he will have the new image without human intervention in powerbi.&nbsp;thank you again for your support !!! Very Helpful !!!Rita
