How to get an Image fields to print in Power BI Report Builder?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Roberto Suarez Alemany 44

Hello, 

I have written a Business Central Query Extension to get the field "Image" and exported it in a Web Service to Power BI.

What I get is the string that should connect the real image bitmap.

How can I set the Query in order to get the image bitmap and not the string as a key?

Later I will use too the dataset with the image bitmap in Report Builder.

Thanks in advance,

I have the same question (0)

    What you will ned to do is first to put the image (content of the blob field) into a stream and then convert the stream to a base 64 string before you use the base 64 encoded string as the return value for your webservice.

    procedure ToBase64(InStream: InStream): Text

    Hi, just adding some info for Report Builder.

    You can refer to the standard function below to display your images.

    Hope this helps as well.

    Thanks.
