Answer 1

Hi Chandra,

In SSRS report under Report Data section you can see Image section, upload the image first there.

It will look like below screen

After that simply drag the image to the SSRS report body, it will open the property where you can mention the source of Image as embeded. Then press ok, it will look like below screen:-

Thanks

Hi Chandra,

Per my understanding that you want to add an image by creating the placeholder and using some HTML tags, right?

In Reporting Services, when we import HTML content into a report, the HTML that is shown in the rendered report may differ from the original HTML because only a subset of HTML tags is supported. The following is a complete list of tags that will render as HTML when defined as placeholder text:

• Hyperlinks: <A HREF>
• Fonts: <FONT>
• Header, style and block elements: <H{n}>, <DIV>, <SPAN>,<P>, <DIV>, <LI>, <HN>
• Text format: <B>, <I>, <U>, <S>
• List handling: <OL>, <UL>, <LI>

Any other HTML markup tags will be ignored during report processing. For more information, please see:

So, we can see the image tag are not supported currently.

I would suggest you submitting a wish at https://connect.microsoft.com/sql.

I recommend you to use the method Prasad provided to add an embedded image and you can also add some external or database image.

If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
