How to Include images in reports from folder or url or binary data in Power BI Desktop
Ok I solved it... I think. At this time i believe that there is a limitation with both Power BI Desktop and the Online Version in working with both Binary Images and Images from URLs.
However if i design it in Excel 2013 using the Power View module and have the Images display in a Power View Report then I can Get Data using the Power BI Online version and the photos and data will show online in the "Classic Report Canvas". It does not work in the "New Power BI Report Canvas"
It also at this time does not work in Power BI Desktop.
Someone can correct me if I am wrong.
Sorry I dont understand... The data is not stored as binary in excel... It is just text in a column which is a url to the photo on an external website. If i flag a binary i get an error.
Is there anyway to use an image from a website with a url pointing to the image?
Oh yeah, that is way easier:
When you said you were getting them from a folder, I assumed you had them locally or something and were bringing them in as binary.
