Web URL not working on a button

Good Day,

I would like some assistance regarding the following:

I want to embed a JPEG/ JSON file into a PowerBI dashboard and not have a link to the file as many have suggested. The JPEG will comprise of a few bullet points.

The JPEG will be stored on a Share Point folder. Every month, a new JPEG will be created and stored in the Share Point folder. The JPEG will be created from a word document.

So what I need is to display this JPEG in the PowerBI report and also have a Month and year filter to control which report I want to see.

Is this possible?

I am open to any platform, whether it be PowerApps, Python, etc…

Any help regarding this matter will be greatly appreciated

Hi @Akshay_05

Check this post from Brian and see if it is helpful. Here he talks about storing image as Base64 inside Power BI itself.

@Akshay_05 ,

Here’s how to do this:

Encode your images into Base 64 using an online converter such as this one

Copy the resulting Base 64 code into a calculated column or measure in the following format:

Name = “data:image/jpeg;base64, Base 64 Code”

Be sure to change the data category of your column or measure to Image URL. You can now view your images in a matrix or table visual, or a custom visual designed for displaying images.

Here’s an example I put together to demonstrate:

I hope this is helpful. Full solution file attached below.
