Hi,

I've got an issue with the pictures displaying in PowerBI desktop version. I've created a table with a link to the picture and then imported it to the report. Now: the picture is visible when the report is send to my powebi account and open via web but is not visible in desktop version "the picture can not be loaded". Could you please explain me this or write how to solve it? Thanks in advance!

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

Note:

  • The image needs to be in one of these file formats: .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png, or .svg
  • The URL needs to be anonymously accessible, not on a site that requires a sign-in, such as SharePoint. However, if images are hosted on SharePoint or OneDrive, you may be able to get an embed code that points directly to them.

The image needs to be accessible publicly without logging in, and there is a way to check if it is public by opening the address in a privacy mode browser to see if it is accessible.

Thank you for the feedback but the question is still open. How then I can use the file from SharePoint locations in a way that they will be displayed also in desktop version?
