I was all excited today that I was finally able to get images (binary) files loaded into my power query in the Power BI Designer. This took a bit getting around the Privacy settings and bugs, but the latest release of the Power BI Designer made it possible. Unfortunately now that I have the binary data and images available in my model I can't do anything with them:'( I want to use them like I can in Power View for Tile By and Datacards... Help!!!

Very lame that this isn't supported in Power BI

So, this idea has been posted here since March of 2015 and no response yet? We have images embedded in tables that we'd like to use, but we have to pull them out and put them on a separate web server in order to use them? That's worse than ridiculous. C'mon, Microsoft, you're better than this.

I found solution to this problem



Just select the column that is having binary data in query editer and click right >> transform >> text and it is done. click close and apply you will be able to see the column with appropriate text, which otherwise was not available to see in table view.
