Hi,
I recently posted a report to the service that displays images from SharePoint.
When I open the report in the service, the images are not displaying.
A workaround I found is to open the image directly in the browser using the SharePoint URL, and then refresh the report in the service. After doing this, the images appear.
Is there a way to view the images without needing to open them in SharePoint first?
Best regards,
Fridtjof

Hi @Anonymous
Power BI requires that images displayed in reports must be anonymously accessible. Since SharePoint typically requires authentication, this might be causing the issue. You might want to host the images in a location that doesn't require sign-in, or ensure the SharePoint URLs used are accessible without authentication.
