Summary

Image does not show up in Excel

Content

I have a RTF template and my output is Excel. In my RTF, I have an image in the Header section.  But when I generate the output in Excel, the image does not show up in Excel.  Only a broken image.

Do you know how to make the image show up in Excel?

Thanks

    I ran it on the server already and that's why I found out the image did not show up in Excel.  It works locally without doing anything.

    That's why I have to put in the below code in the Alt-Text field of the image in my RTF and my question is  - Is this the solution to displaying images in Excel?

    url:{concat('${OA_MEDIA}','/','logo.gif')}

    You need to run from server and check It works for all of our reports.

    I got it working by adding the below command in the Alt-Text of the image.  But it sucks that now I have to create a folder on the server and put the image in it and reference it in the RTF.  All my reports that output to Excel have to remember to reference the image in this format.  I'm wondering if this is the only solution or any other way that can make the image show up in Excel on the server without doing anything?  It works locally without me doing anything. I want the same thing when it's on the server.  Is that possible?

    url:{'\\C:\Temp\logo.png'}

    Thanks
