url link to aimage

[shilpib]

Hi

I have a power BI report , just one page in which i am showing 6 dial gauge pickig data for 6 different devices and showuíng data with their latest reading.

Now I have to design so that i have a image url link besides each dial gauge and on click of that  it goes to a new report url opening in same tab.

basically the enire report has to be same just that one line grapg changes according to the chosen device. its a direct query i am using and power Bi is not able to import image type data from database.

Any idea how it can be done.

Regards

According to your description, you can pin all your dial gauges to dashboard first, then you should be able to add image within the dashboard using Add tile and set custom url for the images which can open a new report in the same tab. For more information, please refer to this article: Add dashboard tiles directly from a Power BI dashboard.

Thats an option for dashboard but here i have to use as a embedded report and using direct query where i cant use url links´, it does not support it.

Any other ideas?

Currently, I only believe that Power BI supports URL links and Image links, not images that are links to somewhere else. Basically, you can categorize a data column as a URL Link in the model and when it is displayed in a table, it is a clickable link. Image URL's are similar, if you categorize a column as an Image URL, if you display it in a table, it will display the image the URL points to.
