Solved: How to Include images in reports from folder or ur... - Page 2

In the Financial Analysis Sample there is the ability to filter District Monthly Sales based on Selecting the photo of the District Manager.

I am trying to do the same, However i cannot add photos to the report in Power BI Desktop. I "Got Data" from a folder containing 10 photos. Set the binary field as "binary" but that column dissapears and is not available to the report.

What is the easiest way to use photos from a folder or as binary data in excel or sql to include in reports to enable me to use it as was done in the Financial Analysis Sample?

Ok I solved it... I think. At this time i believe that there is a limitation with both Power BI Desktop and the Online Version in working with both Binary Images and Images from URLs.

However if i design it in Excel 2013 using the Power View module and have the Images display in a Power View Report then I can Get Data using the Power BI Online version and the photos and data will show online in the "Classic Report Canvas". It does not work in the "New Power BI Report Canvas"

It also at this time does not work in Power BI Desktop.

Someone can correct me if I am wrong.
