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 - I am afraid there is no such option within SharePoint. You can create a new column of picture type and then use Power of Power Automate (Flow) to update this icon column automatically every time there is a new item created or updated in the list. This would automatically update the icons based on the title of icon stored in different column.
Please note you need to ensure the images are uploaded in same document library for your flow to be simple and fast.

Thanks for the reply. I will try the Power Automate option. I will also try editing the original data file in Excel (I think there is a way to replace text with an image in excel) and make it in to a list again. I will update this thread with the results.
NaderHadjebi tauseefsh This is an update to the progress on resolving this. I have had some progress by formatting the column with JSON (did not take Power Automate or Excel Option). It is not 100% the way I want it, but getting there. I will make another post with the final result.
