Hi guys,

   same problem here. I've seen this post that solves the problem for the web images :

@PowerBIGuy , @GrahamKnowles have you any ideas about how to solve the problem with the local images?

For an image in a local folder, use a file URL, e.g.: file:///C:/MyImages/Logo.png.

@asocorroI am having an issue with mine Slicer. I have the following excel file, with two local images, and I get no images in power bi. Note that the pictures are saved as jpg. I tested with png and it also didnt work

[asocorro]

Try using forward slashes in the file path.  That is, instead of "\" use "/".

Didn't work

still not working I have tried with 1 "/" and 3 "///" after "file :"

does it matter that the files are jpg and not png?

Hi , I have this same problem -> I have a column of urls that look like "file:///C:\blah\blah.png"  and they have the data category of 'Image URL'. However they only show as the text values rather than the actual images when using them as a chiclet slicer.

Am I doing something wrong? or is this a known issue?

(also I would prefer to bring the images in to the data model rather than link to them but afaik this isn't possible at the moment? )
