Thanks for this informative video, I ran into a problem where my image was over 200KB, and only the top portion of the image was displayed. I also tried reducing the image size by resizing, when I do that the image is distorted. Is there any workaround for this? what is the size of the image you used to build this model?. Thanks.
FYI, there is a recent update in Chris Webbs blog to store large pictures in BI datasets, as an alternative to David solution. blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2019/05/19/storing-large-images-in-power-bi-datasets/ (just saw it by clicking on the link you provided to reach Gerhards blog)
@@wooyeongjeong7405 Hi, to make sure that pics will be loded properly, re-size them to max 200x200. This fix the issue with loading only~10% of the pic.
A little bit late but there is a solution for higher resolution images. As it you can only store a little bit more than 32'000 characters in a Power Query column you have to split the entire binary string into multiple columns where each is not longer than 32000 characters. In Power BI DAX you can then create a new column and merge all those Binary columns together into one column (as in Power BI DAX you can store 2Mio characters in one column). Change this column to a Image URL type and use it for the simple image. This works for me.
Well I am a beginner to Power BI and your tool was excellent way of adding dynamic images. Great job there, however only one image comes up even with none selection and remains the same with any of the selection. What I am doing wrong. Your way was very simple but looks like I would need more help :)
Thanks for sharing the video; this is exactly what I needed. Unfortunately I am only able to see the top 10% of the images that I have included using this technique. Can you please advise? Each picture is only ~100kb.
Ok, i found a solution. Simply optimize your picture. I gain 10 to 80% (passing from 100% quality to 50% and the quality is not bad). And now i see 100% of my image. It shorten the base64. Great for me.
Hi This video really useful for me. I can add the images in my report as you shown in your video, but i cannot see my image completely, its shows me only 10%, like i want to add room picture but in my report I can see only roof & light of the room. Can you please help me how I can see full image?

Hi, the video is really informative. I have one quick question if I want to import an image which is stored in SQL Server I'm DirectQuery mode. How can I do that?
Dear Mr.Gupta thanks for sharing, but I have problem with this code and it don't run and i get error that : "Expression.Error: The name 'BinaryEnconding.Base64' wasn't recognized. Make sure it's spelled correctly." What is the Problem ?!
Hi, Thanks for the video. I have a question. My dataset tries to connect to my local folder using gateway during every refresh cycle and if my system is offline, the refresh fails. Since all images loaded to Dataset, is there a way to exclude table from connecting to local folder?

Thank you
Superb solution, did it now, functioning like a charm.

Thanks for the video. I have a question- Will this work if i publish the report in powerbi service?
Will the users be able to access the images?
Same question here.
Any solution for this? tnx
very helpful training video. Somehow some images do not appear properly, not sure what size to keep
