Power BI Paginated Report Image doesn't display
Yes, it sounds like your problem and mine are functionally identical. I solved it in two different steps:
1. I wrote another program to download all of the images I wanted to access and uploaded them to another website, so that I was calling them via a standard URL, not a webapi call. Technically the Webapi is downloading them, not accessing them as image links I guess. Then I modified the query that had the URL to point to the new location.2. Additionally, I resized all of the images which were bigger than 4MB, shrinking them down in size. For some reason report builder doesn't like it when they are too big. In my case they were photos so they looked just fine between 2 and 4MB.
Lucien, thanks for your detailed response. The image in the link is not a screenshot of my problem, rather it is evidence of it.
If you follow your steps above and use the link that I provided in step 5, yo uwill see that the image renders successfully in design mode, but then when you actually RUN the report it fails. This is my problem.
Hi Mark
Did you ever manage to sort this one?
I'm seeing exactly the same issue - I put the link to the image in report builder and can see the image in designer, then nothing when I run the report.... The link works fine in PBI too.
One thing on my URL... its a weblink to an image, but the image is rendered through an API on the web, so I don't have a .jpeg extension or anything like that.... Not sure if that makes any difference!
Any help appreciated!
