In today's business world, data visualization and business intelligence play an increasingly important role. Companies are looking for ways to present data in an engaging and easy-to-understand way. One popular solution for this requirement is to use Power BI, a business intelligence tool from Microsoft. In this article, we will focus on how you can include animated GIFs in Power BI to take your data visualization to the next level.
Step 1: Preparing the animated GIF Before we can display the animated GIF in Power BI, we need to make sure that the GIF is properly prepared. Make sure the GIF has an appropriate file size and contains the animation you want. You can use various tools or online services to create or edit GIFs.
Step 2: Using the "Web Content" visual The "Web Content" visual in Power BI allows us to display external content, including animated GIFs, in our reports. Add the "Web Content" visual to your report by clicking the corresponding option in the visualization bar.
Step 3: Inserting the GIF URL. After adding the "Web Content" visual, you need to paste the URL link of the animated GIF. Copy the link to your GIF and paste it into the "Web URL" field in the format "https://example.com/animation.gif" on.
Step 4: Make adjustments The "Web Content" visual offers several adjustment options to optimize the appearance of the animated GIF. You can resize the visual, change the zoom, set the background color, and adjust other visual properties to get the best result.
Step 5: Publishing the report After you have inserted and customized the animated GIF in Power BI, you can publish your report and share it with other users. Make sure that the source of the GIF is still accessible so that it displays correctly.
Integrating animated GIFs into Power BI provides a creative way to enhance data visualization in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Navision, and Business Central. Although Power BI does not provide native support for animated GIFs, you can use the "Web Content" visual to display external content, including animated GIFs, in your reports. Follow the steps above to seamlessly integrate animated GIFs into your Power BI dashboards and reports to enhance your data visualization.
We hope that this blog article has helped you to view animated GIFs in Power BI. Have fun creating impressive and interactive reports!
Please note that the exact steps and features in Power BI may vary depending on the version and updates. Make sure you are using the latest version of Power BI to get the best results.
