First one is without using Image Viewer custom visualization:

Now let’s enter data manually, we will enter two columns one for Item name and another one for Image URL.

 For image URL, we should right click on the image and select for ‘Copy image address’.

Our new table is added under Query Editor > apply and save

Select data view:

Now we need to set Data category for Image URL field under Modelling menu as ‘Image URL’. So that Power BI understand that we have saved image URL under this field and display image for selected URL.

Now select slicer for both fields:

Now if we select any Item, it will display selected image

Now we will display images using Custom Visual to display images and that one is ‘Image Viewer’

We can import that visualization and display our image URL using image viewer.

Usually we would use slicer for selection of images in Image viewer viz.

Select Image Viewer viz. for Image URL field:

When multiple images are present for image viewer it will display the first URL it has received, to check which URL is used in image viewer we can change viz to table and check for used URL.

Now select Slicer viz for Item:

We can add more values to our reports using these dynamic images.
