Awesome mate. Back in days when I had to incorporate images, I had to take long-winded steps to convert to a Base64 format. This function makes it a breeze. 👍

Nice video, If I recall properly, Chris Webb has also created a function and measure that allow to have image bigger than the limit of one row. Basically the technic is to create multiple row to have the full image and them use measure to concatenate all rows together.

thanks Remi! I've seen - thought about incorporating it - but most of the times I go for compressing the images instead (and it would make the video very long haha). Its a great solution if you need higher resolution images for your report or for some reason cannot compress the images.

@@HowtoPowerBI I usually take this solution when I need to add images and so it became a standard approach. Still need to be conscious of image size to not Ballon dataset size. I though video length would have been a factor in your choice. Keep up the good work, you produce great content :).

You recalled correctly and restored my sanity, Remi. It is surprising to me that Chris Webb's method seems to be the only way to display images larger than ~20KB through Power BI

And more over, Chris’ solution does not work everytime. I experienced it yesterday and am still stuck with some images that do not render. Plus…such a long time to upload everything into the data model. 😢
Real usefull well done, one curiosity this process is applicable to shows some embedded documents in my sql and maybe then double click and visualize in full content?
Man, you saved me!! Thanks! You rock!!
Wow, thank you you so much Bas for sharing this use case for the Base64 encoder! I love the implicaitons of it. Have you noticed very long refresh rate times in Power Query when trying to apply to "lots" of rows? I converted 715 rows of the binary content (jpegs) to the encoded text. Now, the refresh rates takes 3+ minutes -- I actually quit PBI desktop as I figured it wasn't worth waiting. Excluding one jpeg w/ a file size of 36 KB, all other jpegs hosted in my one drive folder do not exceed 27 KB w/ more than the 700 files not exceeding 19 KB. I suspect it might be the connection to a cloud folder -- haven't tested from a local drive as this solution will not serve my needs. Prior to using the Base 64 encoder method, I used the typical URL value approach. Refresh rate with the same files is almost instataneous (
Super usefull
Simply awesome Bas👌🏼👏🏼👊🏼 i do have a request to know if there is a way to show multiple images one after the other thru a click or automatically with a zoom out effect.. wud really appreciate if u can nail this ! Thanks again for your efforts and creative mind❤️

@@HowtoPowerBI thanks for replying Bas.. yes something like that.. when on click i would like all related product images to be displayed on a tooltip page or a new page - one after the other in a scrolling manner(if possible) through a click stating “next” below every image.. so you see one image in that tooltip page but below the image you have a next icone or so to see the following image.. its like you display a catalog of images with a scrolling effect as you have seen in some websites.. i knw i ask a lot but would love to hear your suggestion and creativity on it!
Is there a possibility to add an image to a tooltip? For example on hover over a lat/long point I should get the image of that place that I have stored somewhere along with key data.
This is fantastic - but how do I use these images as labels in a visual like a bar graph or column graph? When I choose the image as my x-axis field I get the text information of the image not the image itself.
Fantastisch!

I figured out I could select each Series, choose Image URL, and paste the encoded text into the Image URL field. Works for me because I only have a handful so not too bad to paste them in manually. Thanks again, your video gave me the knowledge to figure this out myself ❤

Hi Bas, Hi Community! I have tried to do this way with folder contains SVG files and I got nothing in Power BI when I tried to display converted images. ChatGPT recommended to use "data:image/svg+xml;base64," prefix, but it doesn't help. Does anyone know how to? :)

Hi, when encoding image URL stored in SharePoint to a text column using web.content(), I can no longer refresh the report in Power BI Service. Is there a way to solve that? Thank you in advance!!
better if you did the query step by step. I had to figure out how to do it myself 😢

@@HowtoPowerBI You're right, sorry for my poor question wording! What I wanted to question is if this "binary image" columns can be used in Slicer controls. When you use a "url image" column the slicer control renders the image without any problem but If I use this option the image isn't render (it is render for example in Tables or Matrix). Do you know if there's a solution for that? Or i'm losing something? Again thanks for the reply and the very good explanation in the video :)
