Image in Power bi does not display when the data imported is binary

 

 

I imported a data where one field is imported as binary, which I then converted to text, and created a new column where concatenated it: "data:image/png; base64 ", & [column name] and change the 'Data category' to 'Image URL'

When I create a table with the the this column, the image is not displayed.

Upon hovering the image, it does show the concatenated string (see the snapshot below)

I am confused, as I have also tried to change 'png' to 'jpeg', 'pdf' etc.

 

Can you please help me with this issue.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

I tried the method in this blog and was able to show the images. Try "data:image/jpeg;base64,"&[ImageData] or “data:image/;base64,”&[ImageData]
