Viewing URL from Google Sheets as Image – A Tip

[RoryF]

I stumbled across this in the last couple of days.  I was having a problem displaying a URL from Google Sheets as an image in a Card View.  But I found out how to do this.

1. When the Data is loaded the field type will be set as a URL.  Change this to Image (but don’t save).
2. Create the Card View – you will be able to select the field where the Photo goes (because it is an image). If it doesn’t show up then do a save and it should be available
3. Go back to the Data field and now change it to URL.  Save your work.
4. The URL should now render as an image in the card view.

This seems to be consistent all the time for me now.  I can get any URL in Google Sheets to display an image in a Card view.

Hope someone finds this useful.

Interesting.   I've never had this particular problem.  I think, though, that this should have been posted in the "Tips" section:

Apologies - I was not aware of the Tips section.

I will post there.
