Replacing text with an image in a list column (SharePoint Online)
Hello all, I have a SharePoint Online list and on one column I have codes that correspond to icons. What is a good way to replace the text with corresponding icons? thanks, Nader

NaderHadjebi if those icons are stored on your site then you could create a hyperlink or picture column (from List Settings) and for the Format URL dropdown click Image. Then you add the link to the icon into the column and it will display the icon/image in the list:

- NaderHadjebiSep 02, 2021Copper ContributorThanks Rob. I have to create the icons for each item. I am looking for a way to automatically swap out the names with the corresponding icon without having to do it row by row, since there are hundreds of rows.

NaderHadjebi not possible I think. You can't mix & match column types and can't just change a text column to a Hyperlink or Pitcure ort an Image column without losing the data.
