importing pictures from a SharePoint site into Power BI

I have a SharePoint Data source that contains a column that stores an image. When accessing the SharePoint site, it appear as in a column as HTML tags. Is there a way to display this image? I've attempted at formatting this column as an image URL but so far no luck.

Hi @JCERVANTES ,

 

It seems that your pictures column is xml type, you can find imageURL in it. Try to convert your pictures by click Parse to xml type and extract imageurl from it. For more details, please refer to https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/XML-document-data-in-a-column/td-p/448699

Hi @JCERVANTES ,

 

You can also use the html viewer to show it. Please refer to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgkT8hLQ2j8

Almost worked. I get an error that the folder is empty. Looking at the steps, tradditionally in SP images are stored in a folders, thought I had found the folder. In this sample record the image is in a column tied to a record.  Capture-SP data source.JPG
