Question

Hi,&nbsp;I have created a SQL table with a column called image which uses the 'image' data type. I create a data set for it in the query editor and the column appears as Binary, but it doesn't import in to the desktop.&nbsp;Is the sql data type incompatible does it have to be something different and what should the type be in the query editor?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks

Anonymous&nbsp;You should be able to change Data Type to Binary, see below image.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The top half of the screen shot shows the column in the query editor and it is already binary. the image column is not appearing in the data set.

Currently,&nbsp;Power&nbsp;BI Desktop&nbsp;doesn't support rendering&nbsp;either&nbsp;Binary Images&nbsp;or Images from URLs. But they can be displayed on Power BI Service. Please refer to threads below:

Sounds like it is not supported in the current version and you can only use images from URL or static images. Which unfortunaely is no help.
