1. Open the Dashboard. Right-click on the dashboard metric that you want to use. Select Copy Image Location.
2. Create a long text area field in Salesforce in which to store this value.
3. The value you copied in step 1 can now be pasted into this long text area field on a record.
4. Use an IMAGE: merge field to grab the value of the URL.
