Rendering Background Images in Paginated report Word/Excel

Hi All

 

I have report with background image (embedded). When I download in pdf, image renders correctly; however, when exporting in Excel and Word, it's not able to render it. 

 

Is it known issue or is there any work around to achieve background image in other formats as well?

 

Thanks for inputs!

I had embedded image in Table cell for rendering it.

Hi @abpgupta , @Vondelmol and @mshao ,

 

The first item to try would be to change the "Image Fit" to "Fit".

 

If you are using a paginated report, use the "Word Rendering Extension".  This document should help you through the steps:  Export Power BI paginated report to Microsoft Word (Power BI Report Builder) - Power BI | Microsoft ...

 

Excel does not allow for background images - 
"

The following limitations apply to images:

  • Background images for report items are ignored because Excel does not support background images for individual cells.

  • The Excel rendering extension only supports the background image of the report body. If a report body background image is displayed in the report, the image is rendered as a worksheet background image."
