I threw together an example to Show/Hide an image button in [https://concepts.glideapp.io/](https://concepts.glideapp.io/) . It’s working using formulas in the sheet, but I couldn’t get it to work using the IF-THEN-ELSE column in the Data tab. See if it would work for your situation.  
I tried using the new IF-THEN-ELSE column to get the column value to equal the image URL, It works, but I still get an empty image placeholder that is clickable. I’m guessing Glide is still placing some sort of value in the virtual column that isn’t truly a blank value. Instead I’m controlling this in the sheet. It’s a little slower to update, but the image button shows/hides depending on the value in a different column. Hope that helps.
