Uploading images into Lakehouse: How to use them in Power BI

[Luci7]

Hi Community,

I need your help regarding images in MS Fabric. It was told that we can upload images, pdf, etc., into MS Fabric through Lakehouse. 

Well, I tried and I succefully saved one image in the Lakehouse files. I cannot upload it to "Tables", I think for obvious reasons. But I was not able to find a way to use this image in a Power BI report. 

When we create a report from the Lakehouse SQL endpoint or warehouse, we can only see the tables, not the files. 

I also tried to copy the file path, it did not worked.

So, could you please give me a hint or a path so I can start using the images stored in my Lakehouse or Warehouse in a Power BI report?

Thank you!

Kind regards!

Thanks for asking this.  I also need to know how to access and use image, pdf and video files. 🙏🙏🙏. Really appreciate you asking.  Hope someone will provide an answer, since this is important to know if we are building solutions in Fabric that require structured data and unstructured data and media files like images, videos, etc

Exactly @lpetty421 ! It's so strange, they only presented that it's possible to add unstructured data as images, pdf, etc. but then, what? This type of data is stored in the Lakehouse files, but we cannot move them from there. We cannot use this files anywhere. I wonder, what's the point.
