How to add an image from SharePoint Online using Report Builder

[Sica]

Hello Everyone,

I have a folder in a SharePoint Online with lots of pictures. I would like to pass a parameter to Paginated Report, so it shows the selected picture. But, the problem is that I can't import/show pictures stored in a SharePoint Online, while it works fine for pictures stored in public websited. So you know if it is possible to do what I want?

Thank you.

We can create a data set in Power BI desktop and upload it to power base service and then we can call the same data set in our report builder and use the images which are available in SharePoint.

Hi @Sica ,

Here is a similar question that you can refer to: Solved: SharePoint Image to Paginated Report - Microsoft Power BI Community

For the selection of image resources, if the image resources stored in the report server portal select external.

For images on any website (including report servers in SharePoint integration mode), type the full URL of the image in the "Use this image" box.

https://\<SharePointservername>/\<site>/Documents/images/image1.jpg

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Investigating a little bit, I found out that I need the pictures to be placed where an anonymous connections is allowed and IT, for security reasons, does not allow to have folders and/or SharePoints to be shared in that way. So I converted the pictures to Base64 and imported them into a dataset, so it works, but of course I have some limitiations in how big the picture can be =/

But I have not found any other solution so far where I don't need IT support to solve it.
