How to Include images in reports from folder or url or binary data in Power BI Desktop

In the Financial Analysis Sample there is the ability to filter District Monthly Sales based on Selecting the photo of the District Manager. I am trying to do the same, However i cannot add photos...

    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.

The video doesn't detail how the images are stored or what the data type is, so i it doesn't help.
