    Hi， thomasreick 

    I didn't get any information about the limit on the number of tiles for the dashboard.

    You may need to make sure security credentials aren't required to access the image file. For example, because OneDrive and SharePoint require authentication, images stored there can't be added to a dashboard this way.

I have the same problem. app.powerbi.com gives me the error message "Please enter a valid URL starting with https:// or http://" even though I entered the address correctly. Or she inserted the address of an already displayed image.
Can you help me?

Thanks

      Hello thomasreick,

      Thank you for the advice.

      Unfortunately, this is not the solution to my problem. Unable to insert new image tile with https path to control panel. And it is also not possible to pin a graph from a published report.☹️

      Unfortunately, I don't know where my mistake is.🤔

        Good Morning Questcz/Iveta,

        As far as I have understood correctly...

        • The pic(s) need to be available online (web/sharepoint)
          • Important(!): Reportuser should have reading rights on the pic-folder.
        • In PBI Desktop-Report you can include the base64-converted pics to a an Image-Visual  like Image Pro from the market (Image pro by Cloudscope)
          • do as explained in Chris Webb's Blog for both methods (Import in PQ, DAX in PBI)
          • Create an additional measure as described here for a single picture
            SinglePic= CALCULATE ( [DisplayImage]; LogoTable[NameOfPic] = "DesiredPic.png")
          • Make this Measure the Source of Image Pro-Visual
        • Do not manually import a picture to get it displayed, those cannot be pinned to a dashboard because there is no data-field connected.
        • Pin the Image Pro Visual from the published Report to the Dashboard

        Please check this approach and give feedback.

        thx

        Have a nice weekend

        Thomas
