Helper IDisplaying images from sharepoint online list or folder
Hi! MikeHawryluk could you find a solution or at least heard about a reliable solution to this shameful problem ...Im experiencing the same issue and still cant find a normal solution for this such amazing power BI tooll....sometime I got sorprised by this kind of issues the tool cant fix.
Tell me if you have some news....any advice would be so much appreciated
Helper IAnonymous I still have no issues in a desktop browser though I find that you do have to authorize sharepoint for the user before the images start to appear. The pages I've created have links to the images as well as the images. So I've told the users, if you see a broken link where the image should be, click the link which will open the image in SharePoint and force authorization, then refresh the report in Power BI and the images appear.
I stopped trying to get the app to work some time ago but seeing this note I may go back and look to see whether I can get it going.
I thought the message from xerxel was interesting as while the end user normally uses chrome I tested Explorer 11 and Firefox and had no issues.
Hope this helps.
Mike
- I confirm I’m facing the same problem. Have you tried the workaround offered by the PG team?
Regarding the workaround you’re suggesting, let’s be serious.. we’re in 2019 and any solution you develop should be browser/device agnostic. In 2005 I would have accepted those workaround but today there is no way to deliver a solution where you can ask your user to use a specific platform to visualize a report..Anonymous , I was able to force authentication in Chrome today, but not in IE. Other workarounds I've seen have suggested removing any permissions from the SharePoint library links, which is not a viable solution for most enterprise users. Very disappointing functionality.
I was trying to show the Images from a Sharepoint List, I added the link in the same way using the 2.0 Implementation and concatenating the server and relativeURL, but it didn't work in the Power BI Service.
I was a few hours trying but the solution was to active the cookies in Google Chrome. 😅
