Excel Organisation data types were released last year (see here for details), but did you know that you can now use them to bring images as well as text and numbers into Excel? Here’s a super-simple example that shows you how to do this.
Here’s a table called ‘Fruit With Image’ in a dataset that I have published to the Power BI Service:
Notice that the Data Category property on the Image column, which contains the URL of a picture of each type of fruit listed, to “Image URL” (for more details on what this does see here). If I use this table in a Power BI report, I see the name of each fruit and a picture:
So far no surprises. I can also set this table up as a Featured Table (for more details see here) so it can be used as the source for an Organisation Data Type in Excel:
The cool thing is that when I type these fruit names into Excel and mark them as the “Fruit With Image” data type (see here for more details), I can then access the Image field and it will show the image that the URL points to inside a cell:
Thanks Sir . Would Like to know Much on Dependent Data type for this
Unfortunately I only succeed if I specify the direct URL, like “https://miro.medium.com/max/342/1*WxVFG7b31wEkMuzgw7aUdQ.png”. I fail when I use an image converted to Base64
