Power BI: Linking Images to Your Reports
Project Files
Learn how to link progress images to a project schedule and display them dynamically in Power BI. The process involves:
- Assigning Activity Codes – Assign activity codes to tasks in Primavera P6 (e.g., shaft work, tunnel work, pipe work).
- Exporting Data to Excel – The project schedule, including activity codes, is copied into a provided Excel template.
- Uploading Images to Google Drive – Progress images are stored in a Google Drive folder and renamed to match activity codes. Public sharing is enabled, and links are copied into the Excel sheet.
- Preparing Data for Power BI – The Excel file is imported into Power BI. Necessary data transformations (e.g., setting headers, formatting dates) are applied.
- Linking Tables in Power BI – Relationships are established between activity codes and images for dynamic filtering.
- Visualizing Images in Power BI – A custom visual for displaying images is added, and a slicer is created to filter images based on activity selection.
