Image icon instead of data

Hi,   I just imported conent pack from Kaizala into power BI and now see an image icon in place of data?   Is this a valid data format? Is there a way i can convert it into numeric data?

kapoornitin,

Please use "Power BI datasets" connector in Power BI Desktop to connect to your data source, then drag the response field to visual and check if it appears.

Apologies for delayed response.

Tried that option, still does not work.

    kapoornitin,

    Based on my test, when you have invaild image URL in the field, you would get the above image icon. It is not possible to convert the data type to numeric type. You should check that if you enter vaild image URL in your data source.

      Thanks Lydia,

       

      This is content pack i imported from Kaizala. Even when I get this as a dataset on PBI desktop, it still does not gives me access to the data. All i can see are the columns which i can darg in visuals, and when i drag them i see this icon.  

      None of the options under 'Modeling' tab are enabled for me.

       

      Thanks

        kapoornitin,

        I know. Just provide you an example about the data type of the response field, in your scenario, the response field contains invaild image URL, thus it shows you corrupt images.
