I'm trying to show some images hosted at SharePoint on Power BI. I've followed some tutorials on Internet and I still can't visualize the Images on Power BI Online. I have all the credentials to access those images as well.
This Image is about the Power BI Desktop.
As you can see, the images are at the last column. I've tested copying the link and pasting at the Browser and by doing that is possible to see the image without problems (As pasted below)
When I open the Power BI Online I still don't get the actual Image. Its broken yet.
As my last attempt I tryed to publish the dashboard but it still doesn't worked
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone help me?
I've never got images to display in the Power Bi Desktop or mobile app, however I found if I add images to the Sharepoint list using Chrome and the images are in JPG format, the images will display in a published Power BI report although I have found that for this to work there are caveats;
Images have to be loaded into the Sharepoint list using my organizations issued Laptop,
I have to be signed in and on my companies VPN,
I have to use Chrome or Edge for the images to be visible.
Where shared Chrome seems to work for those the report is shared with, Edge seems hit an miss, Firefox used to work but in the last month this has stopped displaying the images.

I bought a new desktop due to the need of faster machine. However, when I tried to work on excel to get data from a website, table is not showing in the new PC. In the query Navigator, it only shows Document (Kind, Name, Children, Text). This is kind a unusual for me because i didn't face this problem in my old laptop. Normally it shows document and other table/s (0,1,2,...). Attached images for further details
I tried to dig on data source setting but didn't succeed. I tried to look on Query options and Access Web Content, to make sure old laptop settings and new desktop are same, but still fail to show the other tables. Also tried to uninstall/reinstall office 365 but didn't work as well.
I attached Excel query Navigator screenshot from old laptop and New PC for better understanding of the the problem. For sure I missed some setting but struggling where to dig further. Both machine installed with MS office 365, expecting same scraping capability fore both old and new.
I have a PowerBI Online dataset, which was created in PowerBI desktop and then published online. So far so good.
I connect to the dataset from Excel via PowerBI pusblish, which work as expected. I'm able to refresh the data in the offline version of Excel, but if I attempt to refresh it in Excel online, I get a generic error.
Is it even possible to refresh Excel online which is connected to PowerBI dataset? If not, any possible workaround?
Thanks for any tip
I'm not sure if this is an exact answer, but I've got a set up here where the O365 online excel document lives in a sharepoint environment. I was able to add the sharepoint site as a source in PowerBI - so whenever the online excel gets updated (because it resides on the sharepoint server), it's able to be fed into Sharepoint.
I'm trying to get data to auto refresh on a map layer I have added on ArcGIS. The information shows up just fine but does not refresh automatically as it does on the web page.
I have tried converting from its original source (XML on a web page updating every 15 minutes) to Excel, CSV (Both also update just fine) as well as trying to pull from Google Drive. I should mention I am using a free trial to test this program out so there's probably a little handcuffing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Found a method that resolved my own issue. ArcGIS Onlines auto update/refresh apparently only works for layers published by ArcGIS. Got around this by saving my CSV file to google drive and modifying the shareable link. process shown here I then added the layer from web by using the modified link from Google Drive. Now the data on my map updates with whatever was last saved on the spreadsheet at the refresh interval I set.
I'm trying to run a PowerQuery on a work-related Google Sheet (that I can't share here) so that the data appears in Excel and refreshes when I need it to.
I have published the Google sheet to the web and gotten the link (in web format, not Excel, but this is failing no matter which file format I publish in).
I then go to Data->From Web in Excel and I paste the link to the Google Doc get this:
Query Preview
As you can see, the data isn't appearing. It should be a table with a bunch of data.
Can someone help me fix this?
When using Google's File / Publish to the web pop-up, change the 2nd setting from "Web page" to "Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)". It then builds a link that works without modification in Power Query.
FYI the best in-depth discussion on this topic is on this thread:

BTW if you have published your Google sheet to the web, then there shouldn't be any obstacle to sharing it here - it's already visible to anyone.
We recently adopted Cognos for reporting and it has proven to work well in many situations. But now I am facing a problem that I consider weird, as most tools used for reporting support that.
I have a table in the database where I store images as blobs. I wanted to display these images in my Cognos report to find out that it is not supported out of the box.
If the report format is in HTML, then the solution is to put an image control on the report and construct the URL to point to some web application that you made that accesses the database and returns the image when that URL is called (there may be other solutions but this is "A" solution I know of).
But in my case I use the PDF report format, and I searched all over the internet and I couldn't find anything that talks about it.
So my question is, is there anyway to display blob images in Cognos PDF reports or is it not supported at all and there is nothing I can do about it?
Does any cognos version support this or do I have no hope of having something like that?
P.S. I am using cognos 8.4.1.
I think you are out of luck since Cognos needs to read the images from disk when generating the PDF.
Here's some alternate solutions:
Try to extract the images you need from the database and write em to disk and then you can use Cognos to read the images from disk with tag or image tools from Cognos.
OR
Build a web service that act as an image but reads the data from database (proxy) so when the image is called in tag, the webservice returns the bytes from database. It could work though I never tried it. Worth a shot imo ;)
