Power-bi Images

Hi All,

 

I have a question related to images on how to upload them into power-bi. My current source to Power-bi is excel which has 10K+ records, in that there is a column with images which are different for each record so that is around 1000's of differnt images. When i'm loading into power query its showing as entire column as null. For your refrence i have kept structure which is equvivalent to my source.

I have searched online but couldn't get proper material. My only idea have is to create a key column in excel fact data and join it with other dimension table containg only images,key,image url columns like stuff but it will be a hectic process. Hoping anybody could help.

 

Thanks in advance and regards!

You are in for a wild ride. This link talks about large images but the standard technique is the same.
