    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 (

    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.

    • @HowtoPowerBI
      @HowtoPowerBI  Před 2 lety +2

      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.

      @remib5863 Před 2 lety

      @@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 :).

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).
