How to add image in Web service report

Hi Experts,

I have created a report in the Webservice. Is there any way i can add logo/image to this report.

I know, we can do it in desktop version.

Please let me know if these feature has been added in the web service as well.

 

Thanks.

  • Hi there

    Currently as far as I am aware there is no way to add in an image for reports created in the Webservice.

    You will need to create the file in Power BI Desktop.

  • This is a workaround.

    1. Add any chart type
    2. Apply any empty dataset to it
    3. Under format twirl down the Plot Area
    4. Add Image

      Thanks for the workaround. Did work, but to make an action you had to out another image in front that was invisable:)

    You can create an Empty Button, and then add the Image to it through the Visual formatting options -> Icon -> Personalize ->URL

    With this you don't need to add the Image to the dataset, if you don't want to.

    Thankfully there is an easy way to do this now. As another user mentioned you would add a button but as an update you can now expand the [Style] > [Fill] Format section for the Button, then click on the [Browse...] box and choose the png or jpg image file to upload into the PBI Service. I suspect there are image file size limits but for logos it works great. You can then use the remaining options to remove the border or make it clickable by adding a relevant action.
