[BUG] HTML Content visual not rendering image URLs in Power BI

[Carol266]

Hello,

I’m using the HTML Content (by Daniel Marsh-Patrick) visual in Power BI Desktop/Service to display images through dynamically generated HTML.

The DAX measure correctly outputs the HTML (verified in the editor), but the images are not rendered — the visual remains blank.

Here’s an example of the DAX code:

Colaboradores_HTML =
VAR HtmlHeader = ""
VAR HtmlImages =
CONCATENATEX(
'Premiações',
"<img src='" & 'Premiações'[URL_Imagem_Teste] & "' width='80'>",
UNICHAR(10)
)
VAR HtmlFooter = ""
RETURN HtmlHeader & HtmlImages & HtmlFooter

I’ve already checked the following:

The Data Category of the measure is set to Uncategorized;

I’m using HTML Content v1.6.0.0;

The image URLs open correctly in the browser (e.g. https://i.imgur.com/n827oUZ.png);

A basic test measure () also fails to display.

Despite all of this, the visual still shows a blank output.

Could you please check if there’s a known limitation or recent change preventing external image rendering?

Thank you in advance!

Hi, and thanks for raising. I've taken your steps and cannot reproduce the issue - this renders fine for me, e.g.:

Workbook with my version is attached here, just in case I have misunderstood (download and remove the .zip from the filename so it is .pbix):

HTML Content Issue 266.pbix.zip

If this is what you are doing, the workbook does not work for you, and you are on a corporate network, it might be worth checking whether there are any restrictions on particular domains.

If my workbook works for you but yours still does not, please provide a workbook with suitable publicly available data that reproduces the issue, and I will look into it further. If you want to attach here, I suggest adding a .zip extension, as I have above, since GitHub does not allow .pbix (or other Power BI file types) as a valid extension.
