Linking data to an image

Hello, 

 

I'm trying to link data from a table to a series of images so that if I click on an a value in a slicer visual, it'll show an image that is linked to it on a dashboard report. 

 

Any ideas?

    Put the image url in the table as a column associated with the items. Create a measure that is something like MAX([ImageURL]). Tag it as Image URL data categorization. Put measure in a table visual or something.

      Thanks v-frfei-msft for the response. I noticed in the URL report that the table has a "url" column with base64 data. How did you get that? I'm trying to convert my jpegs to base64 so that I can create a similar table by using this website: https://onlinejpgtools.com/convert-jpg-to-base64

       

      However it produces a VERY large base64 encoding. I know that PowerBI has a limit to the number of characters in a cell. So is there another way to convert the images to url? 

       

      Thanks
