sjkp / heatmap

The PowerBI Heatmap Visual enables users to draw a heatmap overlay from a X, Y coordinate set on to an existing image. The user specify the image, and provide a data set of X, Y coordinates and optionally an intensity for each data point. The radius and the bluriness of the heatmap bubbles can be customized as well as the max value for the intensity.

Hi, I am having difficulty on adding an image on the visual as background which is on the harddrive. This is the value I am passing for background url. file:///C:\Users\dnspk\pictures\test.png Is there anything that I am missing? I also tried to input a publicly available url like
https://www.google.ca/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwis_PXPkPjWAhVC4WMKHYEYAIIQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.qygjxz.com%2Fpopular-images.html&psig=AOvVaw1EvAHCn_2tVeVRo0wPkt96&ust=1508345937383659

Even this does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @DNSPK the visual doesn't support local urls. As that wouldn't work if you decided to publish your report to powerbi.com.

In regards to the web image you tried, you need to link directly to the image. When you find images with google search be sure to right click the image and select "copy image address", typically it would end with .gif, .jpg or .png.
