base64 Dynamic Image URL
Hello,
I have 3 measures that embed base64 strings to display images.
Green Check =
Yellow Warning =
"data:image/png;base64zzzzzz"
I want to use those 3 images dynamically in a card visual so I created the following
ImageD =
VAR Green Check = [green check]
VAR Red X = [Red X]
VAR Yellow Warning = [Yellow Warning]
When I tried to use the imageD measure as an image url in a card visual, Power BI does not let me click on the OK button. Howerver, if I get rid of the variables in ImageD measure and just embed the base64 strings in the SWITCH condition then it works. I tried changing the categories of the measures but no luck. It seems Power BI does not regonize the measure as a string and does not let me use it when I use variables pointing back to the 3 original measures. Do you know how to fix it? I also want to use these images for other metrics.
Thank you

JS0309 , Try creating separate measures for each image:
GreenCheckImage = "data:image/png;base64xxxxxxx"
RedXImage = "data:image/png;base64yyyyyyy"
YellowWarningImage = "data:image/png;base64zzzzzz"Use these measures in your ImageD measure:
DAX
ImageD =
SWITCH(TRUE(),
[profit] > 0, [GreenCheckImage],
[profit] <= 0, [RedXImage],
[YellowWarningImage]
)bhanu_gautam Thanks, I tried this method but it isn't working either. It does not let me click on the OK button when I choose ImageD as an Image URL
