Community SupportHi vmonu ,
You could change data category to image URL in Power BI Desktop. Then it will show per image automatically.

Helper IIThe problem is the image NOT in the url... It's in the local folder... (multiple images say employee photos_
So , unless it's not showing (based on what i read thru you and other posts) unless i convert each of them.
Is there any other option say ( just give the folder path alone... say C:\local\employee1.jpg) and thereby the user clicking it opens an IE or webbrower to show the image... (like using the file command etc.,)
Thanks again for your help

Thanks v-xuding-msft . That's a good solution.
Is there another way to just open windows explorer from PBI ( as that way , i don't need to convert to base64 images).
Also the reason is my images will all be in multiple subfolders based on dept, employee history etc., so if i can invoke showing windows explorer , then i can show the file path and the user can click it to see the images.
If that's not possible then i will have to live with this.

Hi vmonu ,
For now, we only can open windows explorer when changing the data category of columns to URL.
