I am trying to use an SVG image as the background image for my PBI report. I would like to include the image in the JSON theme file so when I create a new page in the report, it's automatically added.
What I did: I first converted the SVG image to JSON, which produced the below code. When I tried uploading the JSON file to Power BI, I got an error message. What am I doing wrong?
SVG image converted to JSON (using Aspose):
That code inserted into JSON code:
Error message I receive from Power BI after importing the JSON file:
I figured this out. I was making the mistake of converting the SVG image to JSON instead of base64. I didn't use an SVG URL, just an SVG image and didn't run into any issues when I imported the theme.
Steps I took:
- Convert the SVG image to base64 (Data URI)
- insert that code into the JSON code
