I am trying to make the image files(like jpg) appear on the matrics table at the power bi desktop.
The picture files are saved in our company's local area network now.
I made the list table which have the relations with item code and picture path in LAN and BI query read it.
However, it does not work. It maybe I need to upload on the secured web. Could you show us how to do?
Solved! Go to Solution.
How big is your images files? If its size is less than 36 KB (around that size), you can follow @v-yulgu-msft's suggestion to convert images files to Base64 from local device. But if the image file size is bigger, you have to upload them into a website (such as SharePoint or Onedrive), and then copy its url into your table for displaying the image.

Hi @kasai526,
The supproted Image URL should be online. But you could try below workarounds to make local images to be shown in a visual:
Import images in Power BI from local sources
Reference Local Image URL in the visual
