The “Image” column in your Google Sheet is already a url. You don’t need to get the “url” property of it. It’s not an object that has properties. It’s just a text string. So, you can assign item #1 of the list of values in that column as Image1’s Picture or you can use the Get Value block from the Data Source drawer and set the row id to 1, which is what I would do.

Note that if you are using Google Drive links for your images, the links must be publicly shared to work in your app.
