Sharepoint Images not rendered in Paginated report (RDL)
- Anonymous4 years ago
Hi barathirajavi55,
I suppose report server reports may use different authorizations that were different from the common power bi service reports.
In my opinion, I'd like to suggest you use the root link of images(not include additional authorizations or redirection) to help render these images.In addition, you can also try to use the power bi service dataset of the report you mentioned as the source or paginated report, then it should not require the additional authorizations.

Hi,
To show the images in paginated report, you need to convert the sharepoint images in base64 format.
Steps:
1. get the images (Binary format) from sharepoint in power bi
2. Then convert this to base64 (by changing the datatype to text)
3. if the image is big, you need to splite this base64 column by 32766 char as power bi has the limitation to read characters in a single cell.
4. This splitted columns need to be combined in Pagined report using below script
=System.Convert.FromBase64String(Splitted column1 + Splitted column 2)
I am having the same issue. I created a URL image measure in PBI and published up to the service. The images will appear as they should.
When i use the same measure or column from the power bi dataset in paginated reports, the images will not come through.
