Hi Juan,

 

I can get the image URL but the picture doesn't display, I guess I will need to locate it from elsewhere.

 

Regards,

    I am another year late on this too.  Same issue.  I get broken links, but if I paste the URL in a browser it works.

      Same issue ... URLs are valid and exist but seems like PowerBI doesn't have security access to retrieve and display them blm001 😞

        Check out the blogpost from Shantha Kumar. I had to tweak the initial url for OWA for my organization but the otherwise, the rest of the URL format worked for me. It fetches the Image URL of the Profile Picture of the user from Office 365.
