Browsing Power BI Dahsboard and report sometime we have find that some users use Images as filter or visual Object. For example in my last power bi example about Cinema i use it:
IN my case i use a API on IMdb but it’s the same if you have an url in your dataset. The important it is, have a image url in dataset. See how to do transform this url in ad image:
- Control Your dataset
When i speak about a img url I speak about this situation:
As you can see i have a column where is the url of the image for every row of my dataset.
