Image not displaying

[DC7]

Hi All

Only been using Power Bi for a couple of days still very new.

I have added the "simple image" visual to my report and setup my data, see below, there are no filters and my image is not displaying.

Is it because it's on a "local" drive?

Thanks

Hi @DC7 ,

Image URL data-type takes inout as a web url with your image.

The path in your case is a local drive location so it won't take it as a url.

Try uploading your images online like in dropbox and bring in the dropbox URLs for your images. Then Power BI will display all images in the column.

Thanks,

Pragati

Does it have to be a web based or cloud based location?  Can it be a server on a internal company network?  Does sharepoint work?

Thanks

Hi @DC7 ,

Yes any web url starting with "https:...." should work.

Thanks,

Hi Pragati11

Thanks for your reply.  I've setup the dropbox and updated the table and the image is still not displaying.  There are no filters on the report.

The size is 55KB is this an issue?

Thanks

Hi, @DC7 

Note:

• The image needs to be in one of these file formats: .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png, or .svg
• The URL needs to be anonymously accessible, not on a site that requires a sign-in, such as SharePoint. However, if images are hosted on SharePoint or OneDrive, you may be able to get an embed code that points directly to them.

The image needs to be accessible publicly without logging in, and there is a way to check if it is public by opening the address in a privacy mode browser to see if it is accessible.

Hope this helps.
