Hello
I'm making my first power app from an excel spreadsheet. I have a column that contains images.jpg. I can't display such images in my app which has a layout with images.
Can you help me?
Thank you

Re: Images from excel files

Hi@PoAppsEli,

Based on the issue you mentioned, do you want to display images from your Excel file?

Could you share more about your scenario?

Whether the related image column you mentioned is stored as links? Actually links in Excel should be in URL format and uploaded to OneDrive. On this premise, please check the following articles for details:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/add-images-pictures-audio-video

What’s more, in order to make it work with Power Apps, the column name to store the images must be "xxxx [image]" in the excel table. There should have a space between xxxx and [image]

If all ideas mentioned above can not solve, please share more details about the issue.

Best Regards,
Qi Qiao

@PoAppsEli
Images stored inside Excel files cannot be displayed in PowerApps. Instead, you must store the images on your OneDrive.

Then copy the link to the image into a column called ImageColumnName in your Excel table. Links should be in this format.

When you place an Image control in your gallery change the Image property to this code and it will show the picture.

ThisItem.ImageColumnName
